Approach

Our focused & intentional approach

Most pricing problems are not price problems. They are strategy, capability, and execution problems. Our approach works across all four layers: the foundation that grounds every decision, the levers that move margin, the capability that makes change stick, and the journey that gets you there.

How we work

Lasting pricing improvement requires strategy, tools, and execution working together. We work across all three phases, customized to your business.

Advise

Strategy
& Direction

We define the pricing path.

Leadership teams get the clarity to make the big calls — where to compete, how to differentiate, and how to price for profitable growth.

Build

Analytics, Models & Tools

We turn strategy into decision systems.

From rapid analytics prototypes to fully embedded pricing tools — we build the infrastructure that makes pricing consistent, scalable, and defensible.

change

Adoption
& Execution

We make pricing stick.

Strategy only creates value when it changes what happens in a negotiation, a quote, or a price increase rollout. We close that gap.

The Levers

What we move


Strategy sets the direction. The levers are where you act on it. Most organizations are only managing one or two. We examine all four, focusing on what will have the highest impact for your business.

Discover the levers that make a difference

Price

Discounts

Terms

Mix

Price

What you charge in principle

Architecture, level, optimization, governance, and cadence all shape what you ultimately charge. Price is the lever with the highest direct impact on margin. A 1% improvement in realized price typically delivers 3–5× more margin impact than a 1% reduction in variable costs.

What we examine

  • Price Architecture: tiers, modules, usage-based, good-better-best, pack structures.
  • Price Level Optimization: elasticity, WTP research, competitive positioning, corridors.
  • Price Governance & Cadence: who owns it, how often reviewed, what triggers a change.

DISCOUNTS

What you concede in the moment

Discounting is where pricing strategy most often breaks down. The gap between list price and realized price is a direct measure of commercial discipline — and most organizations have more room here than they realize.

What we examine

  • Policy & Authority: thresholds, approval rights, floor prices, escalation paths
  • Mechanics & Types: volume, promotional, loyalty, contractual, off-invoice
  • Effectiveness & ROI:  discount rate analysis, margin impact, behavior attribution

TERMS

What you commit to structurally

Payment terms, volume commitments, and contract architecture define the structural conditions under which pricing operates. Getting these right locks in value and creates the conditions for consistent margin performance.

What we examine

  • Price Governance Clauses: escalation rights, indexation, price protection limits.
  • Volume Commitments: minimums, tiered incentives, rebate structures, true-ups.
  • Contract Architecture: term length, renewal conditions, flexibility provisions

MIX

What you choose to grow

Which products, customers, and channels you prioritize determines your revenue quality. Mix management is often the fastest path to margin improvement — without changing a single price.

What we examine

  • Product Mix: SKU rationalization, format shifts, tier and bundle prioritization
  • Customer Mix: segment profitability, vertical focus, account targeting
  • Channel & Offer Mix: channel margin, bundle design, offer configuration

Price

What you charge in principle

Architecture, level, optimization, governance, and cadence all shape what you ultimately charge. Price is the lever with the highest direct impact on margin. A 1% improvement in realized price typically delivers 3–5× more margin impact than a 1% reduction in variable costs.

Sub-dimensions:

  • Price Architecture: tiers, modules, usage-based, good-better-best, pack structures
  • Price Level Optimization: elasticity, WTP research, competitive positioning, corridors
  • Price Governance & Cadence: who owns it, how often reviewed, what triggers a change

Industry applications:

  • Consumer Goods > Pack architecture, price-pack curves, promotional price points
  • Manufacturing and Distribution > Configured pricing, surcharges, cost-plus structures
  • Software and Technology > Tiered seats, usage-based, module pricing
  • Business Services > Rate cards, project vs. retainer, value-based fees

Organizational Capability

What makes levers stick

Data

Clean, harmonized, trusted pricing data

The single precondition for everything else. 
Without it, even great strategy produces confidently wrong answers.

Systems & Tools

Technology encodes strategy and makes decisions scalable

from Excel MVPs to production platforms to embedded decisioning in CPQ and ERP.

Governance

Owns pricing decisions and how they get made and enforced

Decision rights, escalation paths, pricing forums, and the cadence that prevents drift.

people

Skills, behaviors, workflows, and routines.

Pricing excellence requires that the right people know what to do, have the tools to do it, and operate in a process that makes good decisions.

Decision Foundation

How every recommendation is made

Effective pricing sits at the intersection of three interlocking forces: Market Conditions, Financials and Value.

Value: reflects what customers are truly willing to pay based on their needs and perceived differentiation.

Financials: define the economic reality of the business, margins, costs, and where profit is created.

Market conditions: represent the external environment, including competitors, channels, and macro signals.
