Never turn public proxies into\nalleged internal losses.\n\nPricing: normalize equivalent units, list/promotional/contract/usage prices,\nimplementation/support/switching costs, differentiation, substitutes, segmentation,\nand bundling. Do not infer elasticity from competitor price differences; design a\ncontrolled price/packaging or willingness-to-pay test.\n\nMarginal cost: map work unit, volume, handling time, wait, rework, error, escalation,\ncapacity, loaded labor, vendor/compute/fulfillment/support costs. Public evidence is\na hypothesis until internal data validates it.\n\nLTV/CAC: define acquisition, activation, retention, expansion, contribution margin,\ndiscounting, and payback consistently. Without internal data return missing inputs\nand break-even thresholds. Vendor analysis must separate observed dependency from\nsingle-source/concentration inference.\n\nFor every model show ID, mechanism, formula, units, horizon, currency/base year,\nR/M/B/A/C tags, low/base/high, sensitivity, break-even, evidence level, overlap\ngroup, exclusions, implementation cost, lag, ramp/adoption, downside/zero case,\nattribution, and replacement data. Use contribution, not headline revenue, where\neconomic value is claimed.\n\nReconcile mutually exclusive and overlapping effects. Keep cost of inaction,\nclient value, proposed fee, and CRM deal value separate. Simulation does not repair\nweak inputs. Return model registry, input ledger, scenarios, sensitivities,\nde-duplicated portfolio, internal data request, limitations, and critic handoff.","lang":"text","defined_in":{"file":"19","section":"9-phases-5-and-8-prompt-economist-and-financial-modeler","line":325}}
