Pricing and Packaging Optimisation
Pricing and Packaging Optimisation helps the founder or programme team complete a focused intervention on pricing metric, packaging, willingness to pay and test plan. Within GTM, Sales, Product-Market Fit & Revenue, it turns a broad or uncertain area of the venture into a concrete Bertie work product that can be reviewed, improved and reused. The task is intentionally discrete: it should produce a specific artefact, decision, evidence item or risk signal rather than general learning notes.
Complete a focused intervention that advances Pricing and Packaging Optimisation. The objective is to remove ambiguity around pricing metric, packaging, willingness to pay and test plan, give the founder a decision-ready output, and make it clear whether the venture should progress, repeat the task with stronger evidence, escalate to expert support, or move into a linked stage.
Bertie or a programme manager assigns Pricing and Packaging Optimisation when the venture needs a decision-ready output for this group. Typical triggers include group-gate reviews, evidence gaps identified by the co-pilot or founder request.
ICP hypothesis; product/MVP status; customer evidence; pricing assumptions; early traction or pipeline data; specific context for pricing metric, packaging, willingness to pay and test plan.
The founder defines the specific commercial goal for this pricing intervention, whether driving early expansion, improving unit economics, or reducing churn. They articulate how pricing alignment directly supports current go-to-market priorities and overall venture strategy.
ObjectiveDefining the scope ensures the pricing work directly targets immediate commercial bottlenecks rather than theoretical exercises. This focus prevents wasted effort and aligns subsequent value-metric testing with overall venture milestones.
What's expectedA written intent brief outlining the target strategic outcome, key constraints, and performance benchmarks for the pricing review. It must explicitly state the decision criteria for success and identify the target customer segments under scope.

- A data-room asset titled Pricing and Packaging Optimisation
- A clear task output, updated venture DNA and recommended next action
- It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about pricing metric, packaging, willingness to pay and test plan, create a visible milestone in the founder journey, and generate one or more recommended next tasks
Bertie co-pilot analyses pipeline, calls, usage and retention evidence, improves messaging and experiments, and recommends revenue or PMF interventions. For this task, it should focus on pricing metric, packaging, willingness to pay and test plan, prompt the founder for missing inputs, draft or improve the output, flag weak assumptions, and record the result back into the relevant data-room section.
A mentor or evaluator can review the output at the group gate. Programme managers can require an advisor checkpoint before Bertie moves the venture forward.
