>So I don't think it's a foolproof scheme, unless your solution is also programmable/customizable, which is a lot of work.

Yep, almost everyone you casually talk to about a problem domain is only casually talking about it. They'll dream, but won't let you know about the pitfalls.

After you build something, the next questions are usually, "Can you change this just for us?", which is a fun task if you have 9 other customers that won't want that change.



So you have "advanced options", add a switch, and then change all of that. And if you do it right it's still nice and modular.


Or plugins. Then say "Hey, we now have this plugin available for only $x.xx".
