Pricing Read

What things actually cost, posted and sourced, with the discount reality and the direction of travel.

What it answers

The question Pricing Read is built for

Name the product, service or category. It builds a price ledger from what is posted and reported, reads the pricing models in use, the discounting that actually happens, the trajectory, and the unit economics the record supports, and says what it cannot establish.

Who reaches for it

The section of a competitive card that goes stale fastest, and anyone asked "what do they charge" who wants a sourced answer.

What comes back

9 sections, on every run

These are the headings the result renders, read from the same promise the form makes before you spend a credit. A section that depends on what the record holds is rendered when it can be and never promised here.

What it will not do

The lines it holds

A price appears with where it was posted and when. It does not estimate a price nobody has published, and a negotiated figure is reported as reported, never as the rule.

Every claim carries its grade

A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up. How the grades work →

Run Pricing Read on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. The scan names its credit cost before it runs.
