Decide whether to raise prices

What you need: Your current price (and what it covers), the month and year of your last raise, current capacity utilization (how full are you), the cost change since the last raise, what customer feedback or sales signal made you ask the question, the competitor band (one cheaper, one more expensive), and the % of revenue tied to your single largest customer. About 8 minutes of honest math.

How to use: If you've already built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will skip what it already knows. If not, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you across 8 questions, then produces a one-page memo: recommendation (raise / hold / restructure), magnitude with % and $ deltas, a calendar-dated rollout, an existing-client letter skeleton in your voice, an expected churn band (best / most-likely / worst-credible), and the conditions that would flip the recommendation. Memo, not tutorial — no listicles, no pricing theory.
