Where Low Support Burden Meets Low Technical Complexity

This page narrows in on ideas that combine Low Support Burden with Low Technical Complexity. Support-heavy businesses quietly eat margin and founder time in ways that don't show up until you're already scaling — worth knowing upfront. It answers a different question than MVP complexity — some ideas are simple to build a first version of but technically deep to build well, or defensibly, over time. Together, that combination points to a specific kind of opportunity worth evaluating on its own terms.
