The mistake in going from agency to SaaS is thinking the bridge is code. Usually the bridge is data. What pain repeats across clients? What benchmark do they ask for? What workflow do your best operators perform without thinking? What decision do customers keep outsourcing to you? Code matters later. First you need the shape of the recurring problem. Agencies have an unfair advantage because they see messy truth every day. The risk is abstracting it too early into software that sounds clean and misses why customers paid in the first place.
