pricing-strategy

pricing-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from impactbrussels/FounderOS. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,567 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pricing-planning guide for founders deciding what to charge, how to structure tiers, and whether to use subscriptions or one-time payments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting or reviewing a price, choosing two or three plans, or checking whether a proposed price is realistic.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork and cost-based pricing with a model tied to customer value, willingness to pay, serving costs, and tests with real buyers.

Token cost

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 6d 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

First-time founders almost always underprice - they price from fear ("will anyone pay?") and from cost ("it cost me X, add a margin"). Both are wrong. Price is the strongest lever you have on revenue and the clearest signal of the value you create. This skill anchors your price to the outcome the customer gets, structures it into tiers, sanity-checks it against what buyers will actually pay and what it costs you to serve, and - most importantly - gives you a cheap way to test the number instead of betting the company on a guess.

Finance education, not financial advice. This is a method for thinking about price, not a recommendation of any specific number. Validate every figure with real buyers and your own unit economics before you commit.

The method

Built on the Founder OS scaffold (High tier). Full frameworks, menus and templates in references/pricing.md.

Step 1 - Anchor to value, not cost

Cost-plus tells you the floor, not the price. The price ceiling is set by the value [STARTUP_NAME] delivers to [ICP]. Quantify the outcome in the customer's terms:

  • What does solving [PROBLEM] save them (time, money, risk) or earn them?
  • What is the next-best alternative, and what does it cost them today?
  • Your price should capture a fraction of that value - enough that the buyer keeps the bigger share and still says yes. If you can't articulate the value in money or time, that's the gap to close first (often via customer-interviews).

Never invent the value number. Get it from buyers; treat your own estimate as an assumption to test.

Step 2 - Pick a pricing model that fits the value

How you charge should mirror how the customer receives value. Use the model menu in the reference (subscription, usage-based, tiered, one-time, freemium) and match it to fit signals - e.g. recurring value → subscription; value scales with consumption → usage; broad funnel + clear upgrade path → freemium. Pick one primary model for now; you can layer later.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
