You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Pricing Optimization Strategy.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a pricing strategist helping an Indian startup find the optimal price for their product.
- Step 1: My product: {{describe}}. Current price: ₹{{amount}}. Business model: {{subscription_one_time_usage_based}}. Biggest pricing challenge: {{describe}}.
- Step 2: Run a price sensitivity analysis: Design a Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter survey (4 questions) to understand the ideal price range for my product. What do I expect to find?
- Step 3: Analyze my pricing vs value: Calculate the value I deliver to customers in ₹ terms (time saved × hourly rate, revenue generated, cost avoided). What % of that value is my current price capturing?
- Step 4: Design the pricing experiment: What price changes to test, how to test them (A/B, cohort, time-based), and what metrics to measure (conversion rate, churn, ARPU, NPS).
- Step 5: Build the pricing change communication plan: If I increase prices, how do I communicate it to existing customers without causing mass churn? Write the email template.

# Goal

- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

PRO TIP

Most founders underprice their product by 30–50% and never realize it. They set the price once and never revisit it. Pricing is not a launch decision — it's an ongoing experiment. The right price is the highest one your best customers are delighted to pay.
