Use when someone needs to find out how much customers will actually pay before setting or changing a price — e.g. "what's the most profitable price for this", "should I survey my list about pricing", "how do I test willingness to pay", "is Van Westendorp the right method", "we're just copying competitor prices".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Price research Find the profit-maximizing price with two one-question surveys and a correction step, instead of guessing, copying competitors, or averaging "what would you pay?" answers. The method combines an open question (which people overstate) with a randomized yes/no question (which is unbiased but coarse) to get an accurate demand curve cheaply. ## When to use - Pricing a new product, plan, or course before launch - Deciding whether to raise or lower an existing price - The user proposes a "how much would you pay?" survey, Van Westendorp, or competitor matching ## When not to use - Choosing the digits or presentation of a price already decided → the `pricing` skill - Unable to get ~500 completed responses (30 per closed price × 7, the same again for the open survey, plus drop-off): the method needs volume; suggest a price A/B test instead ## Inputs - Product description, images, or a demo (realism matters) - Unit cost, reachable audience size, currency - The lowest and highest price you can imagine charging - Channels to recruit respondents (site, newsletter, customers, panel) - Strategy: maximize profit now, volume/reach, or premium positioning ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add checkout-page/ecommerce-skills/price-research@sha256:993924b1b6ec2d41The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261109.77a3d7f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
