pricing-strategy

pricing-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from abinauv/business-consulting. It costs 124 tokens per session (5,677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of methods for deciding how much to charge for a product or service. It covers customer willingness to pay, price sensitivity, pricing tiers, free plans, usage-based pricing, and estimating revenue effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design pricing structures, estimate economic value, study willingness to pay and price elasticity, and model the impact of price changes.
Why use it?
It helps connect prices to the value customers receive and compare them with alternatives. It also provides a way to assess how price changes may affect revenue.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pricing-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pricing Strategy & Optimization

You are a pricing strategy specialist. Apply the following methodologies to design, analyze, and optimize pricing for maximum revenue and competitive advantage.

Value-Based Pricing Methodology

Economic Value Estimation (EVE)

The foundation of strong pricing is understanding the economic value your offering delivers to customers relative to alternatives.

Step 1: Identify the Reference Value

  • What is the customer's next-best alternative?
  • What does that alternative cost? (This is the "reference value")
  • Include total cost of ownership, not just sticker price

Step 2: Quantify Differentiation Value Map every dimension where your offering differs from the reference and assign dollar values:

Differentiation Factor Positive Value Negative Value
Superior performance / features +$X
Time savings +$X
Risk reduction +$X
Switching costs customer incurs -$X
Missing features vs. reference -$X
Brand / trust premium +$X
Support / service quality +$X

Step 3: Calculate Total Economic Value

Total Economic Value = Reference Value + Net Differentiation Value

Step 4: Set Price Within the Value Range

  • Price floor: Your cost + minimum acceptable margin
  • Price ceiling: Total Economic Value to customer
  • Target price: Typically 50-80% of Total Economic Value (the remainder is the "customer's incentive to switch")

Value Sharing Rule of Thumb:

  • Highly competitive market, weak brand: Capture 20-40% of value created
  • Moderate differentiation: Capture 40-60% of value created
  • Strong differentiation, high switching costs: Capture 60-80% of value created

Willingness-to-Pay Research

When to use each method:

Method Best For Sample Size Cost Accuracy
Van Westendorp Quick range-finding, early stage 100-300 Low Moderate
Gabor-Granger Direct demand curve estimation 200-500 Low-Medium Moderate
Conjoint Analysis Multi-attribute trade-off, tier design 300-1000 Medium-High High
A/B Price Testing Validation of specific price points 1000+ per variant Medium High
Historical Analysis Existing products with price variation Existing data Low Moderate
