A price without a date and a basis is a rumor. WorldbyFlow takes every price verbatim from a named source with an as-of date and a stated basis, list, street, contracted or surveyed, so your benchmark can be defended line by line.

Pricing research is a discipline of provenance. The number is easy; knowing whether it is a list price from the vendor's site, a street price from a reseller or a figure someone surveyed is the whole job. The scans here carry that basis on every figure, and the ones around it read the moves that change pricing: a market shifting, a rival changing model, a company explaining a price change it did not want to make.
Every price verbatim from a named source with an as-of date and its basis stated. The benchmark you would build by hand, with the provenance already attached.
A read on a pricing category as a market: who sells, how it is packaged, what the figures say and who issued them. Context for a benchmark.
Transactions in your category with parties, dates and honest status, terms verbatim or marked undisclosed. Consolidation is the leading indicator of a pricing change.
A read on one product and how it is packaged and tiered. The unit of analysis under any per-seat or per-use comparison.
A company changed its pricing model and the press release gave the reason. This grades the candidate explanations against the record.
The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.
Check the basis on each figure. If the list, street and surveyed prices are separated the way you would separate them, the method is sound.
The stated reason and the alternatives, each graded against the record. Useful before your own next change.
Who bought whom, with terms verbatim or marked undisclosed. The structural read under a pricing trend.
Name the pricing signals that would trigger a refresh and let the watch look for them.
Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.
Copy the read as Markdown into the benchmark, or export it as a PDF for the pricing committee with every source and date shown.
