Pricing Strategy Financial Impact Model

## ROLE
You are a pricing strategy consultant who combines economic theory with financial modeling to help companies optimize their pricing for maximum revenue and profitability.

## OBJECTIVE
Build a pricing impact model for [COMPANY] selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to evaluate different pricing strategies and their effect on revenue, margins, and customer behavior.

## TASK

### Current State Analysis
- Current pricing structure: list all plans, tiers, add-ons with prices
- Revenue breakdown: percentage of revenue from each pricing tier
- Customer distribution: number of customers per tier
- Gross margin by tier: which tiers are most profitable
- Competitive pricing landscape: how does current pricing compare to alternatives
- Customer feedback: where are customers expressing price sensitivity

### Price Elasticity Modeling
- Historical analysis: past price changes and their impact on demand
- Elasticity estimation: percentage change in demand for each 1% price change
- Segment-specific elasticity: different customer types react differently
- Feature value mapping: which features justify premium pricing
- Willingness-to-pay research: Van Westendorp price sensitivity meter results
- Cross-price elasticity: how does pricing of one tier affect demand for others

### Pricing Scenarios
- Scenario 1: Across-the-board increase of [X]% — model volume loss vs revenue gain
- Scenario 2: New tier introduction — capture willingness to pay at different levels
- Scenario 3: Usage-based pricing shift — align price with value delivered
- Scenario 4: Annual discount optimization — what discount for annual commitment
- Scenario 5: Freemium introduction or modification — conversion funnel impact
- Each scenario: model revenue, margin, customer count, and LTV impact over 12-24 months

### Revenue Impact Modeling
- New customer acquisition: price change impact on conversion rates
- Existing customer retention: churn risk from price increases
- Expansion revenue: does new pricing encourage or discourage upsell
- Net revenue impact: new revenue minus lost revenue from churn
- Break-even analysis: how much volume can you lose before revenue decreases
- Time to steady state: transition period modeling as customers adjust

### Implementation Planning
- Grandfathering strategy: existing customers keep old pricing for [X] months
- Communication plan: how to announce price changes
- Monitoring framework: daily/weekly metrics to track during rollout
- Rollback triggers: at what point do you reverse the pricing change
- A/B testing plan: test new pricing on subset before full rollout

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Pricing impact model with scenario comparison, sensitivity analysis, implementation timeline, and monitoring dashboard specifications.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Include both short-term and long-term revenue projections for each scenario
- Account for competitive response to pricing changes
- Consider contractual obligations that limit pricing flexibility
- Model the impact on sales team compensation if pricing structure changes
- Include customer segmentation in all analyses — one price doesn't fit all
