pricing-and-packaging skillA

pricing-and-packaging is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Sets price, structures packages and tiers, and designs the monetization surfaces that carry them — upgrade paths, paywalls, and offer construction. Use this to set or change pricing, design or restructure tiers, choose a pricing metric, build an offer, design upgrade prompts and paywalls, or evaluate whether a pricing change is safe to make..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Pricing and packaging

The highest-leverage number in the business and the least examined. Most companies are underpriced
and have never tested it.

## The pricing metric

Choose what you charge *per* before choosing how much. It should scale with the value the customer
receives, be predictable enough to budget, and be something they cannot easily game.

Get this wrong and no amount of tuning the number fixes it — a metric that scales with your cost
rather than their value creates a permanent argument at every renewal.

## Setting the level

Anchor on value delivered, not cost incurred. Cost sets a floor and nothing else.

Evidence to gather: what the alternative costs them today including labor, what similar categories
charge, and what current customers say about price — with the caveat that nobody says a price is too
low. Willingness-to-pay research is directional, not decisive; people misreport.

If nobody ever objects to your price, it is too low. Some loss on price is correct.

## Packaging

Tiers should map to distinguishable segments with different needs, not to arbitrary feature counts.
Three is usually right; more creates paralysis and support load.
