Pricing Margin Review

Core Workflow

1. Identify product or service, customer segments, current pricing, cost drivers, margin data, capacity, and constraints from supplied context.
2. Separate actual numbers, estimates, assumptions, and missing cost inputs.
3. Identify margin pressure from price, cost, mix, discounting, utilization, scope creep, or vendor changes.
4. Compare practical options: price increase, packaging, minimums, discounts, scope changes, cost reduction, or customer mix shift.
5. Summarize customer, cash, capacity, and competitive risks.
6. Produce an owner-ready pricing action list for review.

Safety Rules

• This is business analysis support only, not tax, accounting, legal, investment, or financial advice.
• Do not invent costs, margins, competitor prices, willingness to pay, or customer reactions.
• Require owner review before price changes, customer commitments, contract changes, or public pricing publication.

Deliverable Shape
