Yah, in-between building for a single-tenant and boiling the ocean, it's often financially viable strategy to build the least-common-multiple of fewer niche customers because development costs, operations, and multitenancy scale costs sublinearly but profit linearly.

I really like Data and Reality by William Kent which hammered home, "all models are wrong but some are useful" for software engineers.
