one-man
Handled without help
One-man describes something done, operated, or performed by a single person: a one-man show, a one-man band, a one-man operation.
It emphasizes individual effort or control, sometimes with admiration for self-sufficiency, sometimes suggesting limited scale: He ran a one-man law practice out of his apartment.
