Real use case
Fitness coach Marcos is developing a home workout program and cannot decide between charging $29, $97, or $297. His competitors range from $9 to $600. He has 15,000 Instagram followers and no existing course audience. He needs a structured analysis to set a price that maximizes revenue without alienating his target market.
