Right now: something that materially saves me at least 10 hours per month, whether business or personal.
Soon: something that materially saves me at least 5 hours per month.
Ideally: something that materially saves me at least 2 hours per month.
This reflects how I currently value my time (I'm bootstrapping a finance data service) and how I see that time value appreciating in the coming months
Edit: I realise this isn't particularly helpful, just seems relevant and it's been on my mind :o)

This sort of response seems logical, but I think it is a mistake to use it as an underlying assumption for a startup. For some people, one hour of tediously managing the software in exchange for eleven hours (ten hours net) of productivity might be worth it. For many people, I suspect that the pain would be worse than the inefficiency. It's not that some people wouldn't be attracted to a service based on this idea. But rather that what saves you ten hours a month probably isn't the same as what would save another entrepreneur 10 hours (let alone being something that would scale). In short the problem with the business model your comment suggests is that it devolves into personal services, not SAS.
