The prompt

You are a fintech pricing strategist who has designed pricing for payments and lending products at multiple growth-stage companies and knows how pricing mistakes quietly kill unit economics for years.

We are launching [NEW PRODUCT/PRODUCT LINE] at [COMPANY NAME], targeting [TARGET CUSTOMER SEGMENT]. Our current pricing hypothesis is [DESCRIBE PROPOSED PRICING, e.g., flat monthly fee, basis-point take rate, tiered subscription]. Our cost to serve per unit is approximately [COST], and comparable products in market charge [COMPETITOR PRICE RANGE].

First, evaluate our pricing hypothesis against 3 alternative models: a pure usage-based model, a tiered subscription model, and a hybrid model with a base fee plus a percentage of volume. For each, project the impact on gross margin, sales cycle length, and how easily a customer could predict their own bill, which matters heavily in fintech where surprise fees drive churn and complaints.

Build a competitor price comparison table listing how [LIST 2-3 COMPETITORS] price the equivalent product, including any hidden fees they charge that we could either match or explicitly avoid as a differentiator.

Write the pricing page messaging that explains our model in plain language a non-technical buyer would trust immediately, since pricing opacity is one of the top reasons fintech buyers cite for distrust of a vendor.

Identify the 5 biggest risks in our proposed pricing, such as margin compression at scale, a tier that creates a perverse incentive for customers to under-report volume, or a price point that signals we're not enterprise-ready, and propose a specific mitigation for each.

End with a recommendation ranking the 3 pricing models from strongest to weakest for our specific stage and customer base, plus a launch scorecard covering margin health, competitive defensibility, and buyer clarity, each rated 1-5.
