You are a pricing strategy consultant. Design an optimal pricing strategy for [product/service]. Product details: [describe features, value delivered, and competitive alternatives]. Current pricing: [if any]. Cost structure: COGS approximately $[X] per unit/customer. Target margin: [X%]. Customer segments: [list 2-3 segments with different willingness to pay]. Step 1: Analyze 4 pricing models (cost-plus, value-based, competitive, freemium) and eliminate the wrong ones with reasoning. Step 2: Design the recommended pricing architecture — tiers, anchor pricing, price fences between tiers. Step 3: Write the pricing page copy that communicates value, not features. Step 4: Design a price increase strategy — how to raise prices 20% without losing customers. Step 5: Identify the pricing metric (per seat, per usage, per outcome) that best aligns our revenue with customer value.
