2 things to look at
- 16 days oldThe repository was created 16 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use when a hosted subscription product involves tenants or workspaces, pricing plans, entitlements, billing, activation, retention, churn, customer support, account lifecycle, or SaaS unit economics.
The file declares its own license as Apache-2.0. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Building SaaS Products
Treat SaaS as product, business model, tenancy system, billing state machine, and continuously operated service—not merely hosted software.
Validate the business boundary
- RULE-SAAS-01: Distinguish primary user, buyer, administrator, approver, and ideal customer segment. Define the painful workflow, willingness-to-pay assumption, acquisition motion, and first value event before expanding scope.
- RULE-SAAS-02: Specify tenant ownership, membership, invitations, role-based authorization, plan entitlements, data isolation, export, retention, deletion, and ownership transfer. Keep identity, authorization, and entitlements separate.
Make money and access deterministic
- RULE-SAAS-03: Model the complete subscription lifecycle: trial, checkout, activation, upgrade, downgrade, proration, failed payment, retries, grace period, suspension, cancellation, refund, reconciliation, and webhook idempotency. Assign a source of truth for subscription state.
- RULE-SAAS-04: Define metric contracts for activation, time-to-value, retention, churn, expansion, revenue, support load, and quality guardrails. Each metric needs a formula, population, window, source, owner, baseline, and target.
- RULE-SAAS-05: Track unit economics and cost-to-serve by tenant or core workflow. Set review thresholds for infrastructure, vendor, support, and AI costs before committing pricing.
- RULE-SAAS-06: Do not open beta or GA without tested account deletion/export, support ownership, privacy handling, billing recovery paths, observability, and rollback.
Read discovery and economics, tenancy and billing, and activation and operations when those decisions are active.
