Results for “cost-modeling”

Pricing model design, competitive positioning, value metric selection, price testing, and pricing page optimization. Use when the user asks about pricing strategy, pricing models, price testing, value-based pricing, or competitive pricing analysis.

AI-powered financial analysis suite. Generates executive CFO briefings from QuickBooks exports (P&L, Balance Sheet, General Ledger, Cash Flow, etc.) with anomaly detection, burn rate, runway analysis, and scenario modeling. Also estimates codebase development costs with organizational overhead and AI ROI analysis. Triggers on: 'CFO briefing', 'financial analysis', 'cost briefing', 'expense review', 'runway analysis', 'burn rate', 'cost estimate', 'how much would this cost to build', 'development cost', 'Claude ROI'.

Design pricing, packaging, and monetization strategy for a software or AI product. Use when the team needs plan structure, free-tier logic, usage vs seat pricing tradeoffs, paywall timing, or monetization guardrails tied to product value and costs.

Build 3-scenario financial models (Base/Bull/Bear) for startups with templates by business model, unit economics, cohort analysis, and runway calculations.

Evaluates pricing, packaging, plan structure, and monetization tradeoffs against positioning, conversion, and margin.

Design pricing strategies grounded in value delivery, competitive positioning, and willingness to pay. Recommends pricing models, tiers, and experiments.

Analyze and design pricing strategies including pricing models, competitive pricing analysis, willingness-to-pay estimation, and price elasticity. Use when setting prices, evaluating pricing models, preparing for a pricing change, or comparing freemium vs paid approaches.

Build financial projections, P&L statements, DCF models, and valuation analyses from assumptions and historical data. Use when the user requests financial modeling or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Tracks cumulative LLM costs across DAG execution and makes real-time decisions to stay within budget. Downgrades models, skips optional nodes, or stops early when cost exceeds thresholds. Use when managing execution budgets, analyzing cost breakdowns, or optimizing model routing for cost. Activate on "cost budget", "too expensive", "reduce cost", "cost optimization", "model downgrade", "budget exceeded". NOT for LLM model selection logic (use llm-router), pricing comparisons across providers, or billing/invoicing.

Pricing models, tier packaging, and willingness-to-pay research. Use when the user requests 'pricing tiers', 'freemium', 'value metric', 'pricing page', 'willing to pay', or 'van Westendorp'.

Calculate and model paid-media financial metrics including CPA, CPL, CPC, CPM, ROAS, MER, break-even targets, contribution margin, LTV:CAC, impression-share opportunity, budgets, forecasts, and experiment economics.

Use when the team needs pricing, packaging, free-tier, trial, usage metering, or business-model guidance for a software product. Trigger on requests to design how the product should make money or control value access.

Use when evaluating costs or looking for ways to reduce expenses in your domain. This skill provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and reducing costs across all operations, infrastructure, development, and business activities.

Selects pricing models (subscription, usage-based, value-based, freemium, hybrid), analyzes willingness-to-pay survey data with Van Westendorp PSM, and designs Good/Better/Best packaging tiers with anti-pattern detection.

Design or revise a company's commercial policy governing discounts, approver thresholds, exception flows, and deal frameworks using data-backed matrices and linting tools.

Every metric encodes an opinion about which mistake hurts.

Use when setting or adjusting prices for a product or service

Guides users in setting product or service prices using minimalist entrepreneur principles, covering cost-based and value-based models, tiered pricing, and financial independence math.

Design pricing, packaging, and monetization strategies that capture value and align with customer willingness to pay.

Provides evidence-first revenue, pricing, refunds, team-billing, and billing-model truth workflows for sales snapshots, pricing comparisons, duplicate-charge diagnosis, or code-backed billing reality.

**Structure:**

Design, optimize, and communicate SaaS pricing — tier structure, value metrics, pricing pages, and price increase strategy.

Plan and review paid-media budgets, bidding, pacing, marginal return, forecasts, CPA, ROAS, MER, LTV:CAC, constraints, and allocation across supported platforms.

Plan which model tier handles which work BEFORE execution begins — a high-cognition model deeply understands the problem, lays the foundations, then emits a modular plan assigning each module the cheapest tier that can safely execute it, with escalation tripwires and one-way-door protection. Advisory only: it announces "next module → tier X / model Y" at each boundary and the HUMAN switches models — harnesses like Cursor cannot switch mid-run. Load when the user asks which model to use, wants a model plan, model tiers, model-tier routing, assign models to tasks or modules, says "cheap model got stuck", "which model for this task", "cost-efficient model choice", or when implementation-plan / problem-to-plan need a model: tier column. NOT dynamic-routing (plan-path selection after failure) — this skill assigns cognition tiers to work.

Recommend model families and validation strategy based on data, constraints, and objective. Use when: (1) choosing algorithms, (2) balancing bias/variance, (3) planning benchmark baselines. NOT for: final legal/compliance sign-off.

Models threats for a service, feature, endpoint, integration, or architecture: assets, attackers, boundaries, flows, and abuse cases.

Scaling Data-Constrained Language Models

Threat modeling workflow for software systems: scope, data flow diagrams, STRIDE analysis, risk scoring, and turning mitigations into backlog and tests. Use when designing new features, reviewing architecture changes, handling sensitive data, or hardening auth/payment/multi-tenant flows.

Analyzes AWS billing and suggests cost optimization strategies for EC2, RDS, S3, and Lambda

Design value-based pricing, packaging, and monetization strategies for SaaS products, including tier structures, value metrics, and price optimization.

Optimize Kubernetes cluster costs by right-sizing resources, configuring autoscalers, using spot instances, and monitoring spend.

Build discounted cash flow models for company valuation. TRIGGERS - Use when user needs help with dcf-model related tasks.

Designing and evaluating AI/ML systems: prompt engineering, RAG design, LLM application patterns, AI safety, evaluation frameworks, MLOps, cost optimization. Use for AI pipelines or eval harnesses.

Structured threat modeling skill using the PASTA framework (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) combined with Adam Shostack's 4-question framework. Use this skill whenever the user asks to do threat modeling, security analysis, map the attack surface, identify threats, or review an application for security risks — even if they don't mention PASTA or a specific framework by name. Core activities: Component Mapping (architecture + data flows), Critical Assessment (business impact prioritization), and Logic Flaw Identification (attacker mindset on business logic). Produces: component map diagram (Mermaid), data flow diagram (Mermaid), attack tree (Mermaid), STRIDE threat table, prioritized risk register, and an actionable mitigation plan. Invoke proactively for any security review, architecture review, or "what could go wrong?" session.
