AI now makes it cheap to extract data from natural language, and existing practice management APIs are open, making this the perfect moment for a lightweight alternative to bloated suites. A solo developer can win here by building a simple, sync-first tool that lawyers will adopt via niche communities like r/LawFirm, bypassing enterprise sales. At $29/seat/month, just 170 paying seats hits $5k MRR\u2014an achievable target for one person.",
