Run Profitable Pricing Experiments (Without Risk)
You Know Your Pricing Is Leaving Money on the Table... But You're Paralyzed
❌ You're undercharging - Competitors raise prices 20% while you stay flat, afraid of churn
❌ You're overcharging the wrong segment - Losing deals to "too expensive" when you'd discount anyway
❌ Your value metric is broken - Customers pay per-seat but value comes from reports generated
❌ You have no testing framework - Last pricing change was "founder gut feel + prayer"
❌ Consultants want $50K minimum - You're too small for Simon-Kucher, too big for guessing
❌ Pricing software requires 10K+ visitors/month - You have 100 customers and basic analytics
❌ You've delayed pricing optimization 6-18 months - Fear of breaking what's working
The Real Cost:
Every quarter you wait, competitors capture pricing power you'll never get back.
Example: A $2.8M ARR SaaS company delaying a value metric shift from per-seat to usage-based leaves $840K on the table annually (30% ARPU lift × customer base).
Your consultant quote: $75K + 4 months Your actual budget: $0 + 0 hours available
Introducing: The Safe-to-Test Pricing Experiments Framework (AI enabled)
The first AI-powered system that lets you design consultant-grade pricing experiments in 15 minutes - using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini you already have.

2. AI-Powered Design (95%+ First-Draft Success)
- 18-variable megaprompt generates complete experiment plans
- 5 sections: Design, Value Discovery, Guardrails, Communication, Measurement
- Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (configs included)
- Copy-paste ready—no prompt engineering needed
3. Consultant-Grade Frameworks (At DIY Cost)
- 10 modules covering problem → implementation → validation
- Evidence-based strategies (15+ cited sources: OpenView, ProfitWell, Price Intelligently)

What Happens When You Stop Guessing and Start Testing
Evidence-Based Results
- 23% Higher Revenue Per Customer Companies testing pricing quarterly vs. annual-only reviewers
- 38% Higher Net Revenue Retention Usage-based SaaS vs. seat-based pricing models
- 40% Churn Reduction Transparent pricing communication vs. surprise price increases
- 52% Fewer Post-Deployment Failures AI systems with quality gates vs. no validation
Example ROI Calculation:
Scenario: Mid-market B2B SaaS, $8M ARR, 700 customers, $2,450 ARPU
Experiment: Value Metric Test (shift per-seat → usage-based)
- Pilot: 50 customers, 90 days
- Result: +30% ARPU ($2,450 → $3,200)
- Pilot Revenue Lift: $37,500 annual
- Scaled (50% of base): $525,000 annual revenue increase
Experiment Cost:
- Time: 10 hours (setup + monitoring) × $150/hr = $1,500
- Software: $0 (ChatGPT Plus $20/mo already owned)
- Total: $1,500
ROI: $525,000 / $1,500 = 350x first-year return
Perfect For Post-PMF Operators Who Are Too Big to Guess, Too Small for Consultants
Ideal Customer Profiles:
✅ Founders ($500K-$10M ARR)
- You've achieved product-market fit
- Pricing hasn't been touched since launch
- Board wants pricing power story for next fundraise
- Can't afford $50K+ consultant minimums
- Need data to justify pricing changes to investors
✅ CMOs & Growth Leads
- Responsible for conversion rate optimization
- Suspect pricing page is leaving money on table
- Don't have analytics platform for A/B testing
- Need campaign-integrated pricing experiments
- Want to test value metrics without engineering help
✅ Agency Owners
- Retainer pricing feels arbitrary ("$5K/mo because that's what we charge")
- Most pricing tools are SaaS-focused (you're services)
- Need to optimize retainer vs. project pricing
- Want to test scope-based pricing models
- Client retention is top KPI
NOT For:
❌ Enterprise ($50M+ ARR): You need Simon-Kucher, compliance lawyers, multi-region complexity
❌ High-Traffic Businesses (50K+ visitors/mo): Use Optimizely, VWO for real-time multivariate testing
❌ Complex Usage-Based (100+ pricing variables): You need Corrily, Stigg (ML-driven dynamic pricing)

FAQ
Q: Do I need to be technical to use this?
A: No. If you can copy-paste into ChatGPT and fill out a form, you're good. No coding, no complex analytics setup.
Q: What AI platform do I need?
A: ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo), Claude Pro ($20/mo), or Gemini Advanced ($20/mo). Platform configs included for all three.
Q: How long does an experiment take to run?
A: Typical timeline: 60-90 days (2-3 billing cycles). You'll spend 30 min/week monitoring, 2-3 hours total for setup and analysis.
Q: What if my experiment fails?
A: That's the point of "safe-to-execute." You test with 20-50 customers (5-10% of base), not your entire revenue. Kill criteria stop bad experiments before damage. Rollback plans included.
Q: Is this just a prompt I could write myself?
A: Technically yes, if you spent 100+ hours researching pricing experimentation frameworks, testing with real businesses, and optimizing prompt structures. This is the distilled, production-ready version.
Q: Will this work for my industry (agency/e-commerce/fintech)?
A: Yes. The 9-dimension context framework adapts to SaaS, agencies, services, e-commerce, fintech. Examples included for each.
Q: Do I get updates? A: Currently this is v1.0 (November 2025). Updates TBD based on user feedback. (Honest answer: no guaranteed update schedule yet)
