## What it does

This skill assesses a planned price increase, new tier, paid add-on, or discount through ARPU or ARPA, conversion, churn, NRR, and CAC payback. It supports a go or no-go decision with calculations and a risk review.

The session is interactive. It asks up to 4 adaptive questions and offers response choices at decision points. You can provide current pricing plus ARPU or ARPA, churn, conversion, CAC, and NRR in the initial request; supplied context is used rather than requested again.

Bring a specific pricing proposal. Baseline metrics make the assessment more grounded, and missing ARPU, churn, or conversion figures mean the result relies on estimates, so checking them first is sensible.
