description: Pricing model selection (subscription / usage / value / hybrid), Van Westendorp WTP analysis, packaging design. Recommends a model + range, never a specific number. Direct invocation of the pricing-strategist skill. argument-hint: "<pricing context: industry, deal size, customer count, value drivers>"

/cs:pricing-strategy — Pricing model + WTP + packaging

Run the pricing-strategist skill on this input:

$ARGUMENTS

Three-tool workflow

1. pricing_model_picker.py — Rank 5 pricing models (subscription seat-based, usage-based, value-based, freemium, hybrid) with fit-score 0-100 each. Industry tuning via --profile {saas,api,ai-tools,enterprise-software,marketplace}. Deterministic logic — consumption pattern + value drivers map to model fit.

2. wtp_analyzer.py — Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter. Takes survey responses (4 prices per respondent: too cheap, bargain, getting expensive, too expensive). Computes OPP / IDP / PMC / PME intersections. Outputs Range of Acceptable Prices + Optimal Price Point (with N<30 sample-size warning).

3. packaging_designer.py — 3-tier (Good/Better/Best) packaging recommendation with feature-to-tier assignment based on importance + segment fit. Flags anti-patterns: "no differentiation", "Best > 2x price with < 1.5x value".

Output

• Pricing model recommendation (model + range)
• WTP analysis (4 price points + RAP + OPP)
• Packaging design (3-tier feature map)

Hard rule

This skill never recommends a specific price. It recommends a model and a range. The human picks the number.

Distinct from

• cs-deal-desk — that's per-deal discount approval.
• c-level-advisor/cmo-advisor — that's positioning + brand.
• c-level-advisor/cro-advisor — that's strategic revenue motion.
