What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams turn uncertain monetization choices into explicit, testable business model decisions with documented arithmetic instead of unsupported strategy narratives.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Model Selection: Compare upfront payment, freemium subscriptions, consumable credits, advertising, and ad-removal purchases based on product fit and failure risks.
- Unit Economics: Calculate price points, cost to serve, conversion, retention, revenue per install, and break-even installs while labeling each figure as measured, comparable, or assumed.
- Trial and Paywall Design: Define free access, trial terms, payment requirements, post-trial data handling, and paywall placement in the product flow.
- Use Case: When launching a subscription productivity app, use this Skill to choose the monetization model, document pricing assumptions, calculate break-even installs, and create analytics requests to validate willingness to pay and retention.
Quick Start
Use the business-model skill to evaluate monetization options for the product, calculate the unit economics, define the trial and paywall, and document every assumption with a falsifying test.
