- Pricing aligned to value metric.
Quality checks
Section titled “Quality checks”- Each tier has ICP, expected outcome, and success metric.
- Friction mapped: time, budget, approval.
- Clear entry and upgrade paths.
Common pitfalls
Section titled “Common pitfalls”- Too many tiers with unclear differentiation.
- Guarantees without operational feasibility.
- Misaligned value metric causing gaming.
