How to start a Instant Account Lockdown Kit for Small Teams business: plan and growth
After an urgent termination, an admin pieced together an emergency lockdown by hand and is now trying to script it from scratch, with no template.
An owner can start “Instant Account Lockdown Kit for Small Teams” from a complaint people already posted. The offer, in one line: One click to kill sessions, reset passwords, revoke tokens and notify the manager when someone is let go. It is for sysadmins and small-business owners. Charge a B2B subscription, and test a price between $50 and $199 a month. Begin in more than one country. Buyers already talk about this in r/sysadmin. One thread gathered 52 votes and 55 replies across Sep 14, 2026 – Oct 14, 2026. Use that room to meet the first twenty buyers. Do not export it, and do not republish the posts. The idea, the evidence, and the market estimate on this page are free to read. Two paid prompts finish the job: one drafts the offer, the price, and a ninety-day calendar; the other drafts a month of conversations and proof. One credit unlocks both. A software specification is not on this site. When the company is the product itself, a single link further down opens the founder library.

A ready, configurable instant-offboarding pack (kill all sessions, change password, revoke tokens, notify manager) for teams without a full IAM system.

Market size
An estimate, built from the bottom up: real customer counts × a realistic price. It shows the size of the prize, not a forecast.

Medium confidence · estimated Oct 2026
How we estimated this
- Base: 1,218,000 US employer firms with 10–99 staff.
- Has the problem: 30% (assume 30% have a staff departure or breach a year that needs it).
- Revenue per firm: $600 per year ($50/mo).
- Reachable: 20% (sold online and through MSPs).
- Three-year capture: 0.5% of the reachable segment.
TAM is customers with the problem × revenue per customer. SAM is the part a new business can reach. SOM is a cautious three-year share of SAM. The bars use a log scale. A share marked “assume” is our judgment, not a measurement.

Questions
How much money do I need to start?
Enough to talk to buyers and deliver the offer once. A service version can start with a written process and a way to take payment. A software version is a larger bet and is not required to test the price. The band to test is $50–199 a month.
How should I price it?
Test a price between $50 and $199 a month, charged as a B2B subscription. Raise it after three paid pilots, not before the first conversation.
Where do the first customers come from?
r/sysadmin is the clue. A related thread gathered 52 votes and 55 replies. Show up there, follow the room's rules, and ask for conversations. Do not scrape it.
Do I need to write code?
No. The prompts on this page draft a plan and a month of growth. Code is a later choice. The founder site linked once below is where the build document lives, if you want it.
The coded version, and the option to hire it out, are on the founder site. PRD and build options
A two-week build starts at $10,000 on that site, after a $1,000 scoping fee.
