SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Translates a selected pricing strategy into a concrete, defensible packaging design so founders can publish a clear pricing page and downstream teams can model revenue and craft pitches. It converts abstract strategy into 2–4 named tiers with a single value metric, explicit feature allocations, anchor prices tied to evidence, and upgrade triggers that map to ICP segments. The skill prevents invented features by referencing product-overview and pushes incomplete asks back to Product Management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tier design: Produce 2–4 tiers mapped to ICP personas or buying contexts with a named value metric and upgrade triggers.
  • Feature allocation & fencing: Allocate only features present in global/context/product-overview.md and provide one-sentence defensible fencing rationales for withheld features.
  • Pricing anchors & evidence posture: Set anchor prices with WTP or competitive anchors and carry forward evidence_posture; flag hypothesis-only posture for downstream validation.
  • Outputs & handoff: Create projects/09-pricing-and-packaging/outputs/packaging-tiers.md and pricing-model-final.md and prepare a 400–600 word distilled summary for global/context/pricing-model.md via context-writer after founder approval.

Quick Start

Design 3 tiers based on the Selected Direction in projects/09-pricing-and-packaging/outputs/pricing-strategy-options.md and allocate features strictly from global/context/product-overview.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about packaging-designer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design packaging tiers from a pricing strategy?▼

Designing packaging tiers involves translating a selected pricing strategy into 2–4 named tiers with a single value metric, explicit feature allocations, anchor prices, and upgrade triggers mapped to ICP segments. It requires a selected strategy direction and strict feature allocation from existing product definitions.

How do I set anchor prices for SaaS pricing tiers using evidence?▼

Setting anchor prices for pricing tiers requires citing willingness-to-pay or competitive evidence for each tier. You must carry forward the evidence posture and explicitly flag any hypothesis-only pricing anchors for downstream validation.

What is feature fencing and how do I allocate features across pricing tiers?▼

Feature fencing in packaging design allocates only features present in the product overview across different tiers, providing one-sentence defensible rationales for withheld features to justify why specific capabilities are locked to higher tiers.

Can I build pricing tiers with features that are not yet in my product overview?▼

No, you cannot include features that do not exist in the product overview. The packaging design process strictly requires that every included feature is present in the product documentation and pushes incomplete feature requests back to Product Management.

How do I create upgrade triggers between pricing tiers?▼

Creating upgrade triggers requires naming an explicit upgrade driver for every non-highest tier. These triggers map directly to ICP personas or buying contexts to encourage users to move to higher-value packages.

What inputs do I need before creating tiered packaging and a final pricing model?▼

Before creating tiered packaging, you need a selected pricing strategy direction, product overview, ICP documentation, and a competitive landscape analysis. These inputs ensure tiers align with market context and target personas.
