Price Increase Impact Audit

Table output Needs web browsing Has example

Check the maths of raising prices.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Audit a planned price increase. Current prices, costs, volumes and a proposed increase: [PRICE_DATA]. Customer types and alternatives available: [CUSTOMER_ALTERNATIVES]. Contracts or notice rules I know of: [NOTICE_RULES].

Calculate break-even volume loss for the increase, the effect on margin, and scenarios for small, medium and large customer loss using my numbers. Segment customers by sensitivity and relationship, and suggest a communication approach. Note what data is missing.

Return a table with Scenario, Revenue, Margin and Difference, a verdict in red, amber or green on risk, and a staged rollout plan with a review date. Contract and notice terms are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION].

Also suggest which customers to inform first, which to grandfather for a period if the numbers allow, and how to measure the effect over the next quarter. Include a short script for a customer who objects, based only on reasons I can honestly give.

Then prepare the rollout as a project. Build a timeline from decision to effective date, with tasks, owners and approvals; a list of customer segments with the message, the channel and the date for each; and a script for staff who will answer questions. Draft three messages under 150 words: for loyal customers, for price-sensitive customers and for contract customers whose terms restrict changes. Include a monitoring plan for the first eight weeks, with the measures to track, the thresholds that trigger review, and a rule for reversing or adjusting. Add a section on risks: lost customers, reputational harm and legal notice requirements, which must be confirmed [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Finish with a one-page summary for the owner that states the expected effect under three scenarios, using only my figures, and the decision rule I have agreed in advance.

Separate arithmetic errors, judgement calls and policy questions into three lists. Keep language factual, tag regulatory points [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION], and leave final decisions to me and my adviser.

Arithmetic (invented figures)
Current price 40, cost 22, margin 18 per unit; sales 500 units a month.
Increase to 44 gives margin 22 per unit. Break-even volume loss: 500 x 18 = 9,000 margin now; at 22 margin, 9,000 / 22 = 409 units. So volume can fall about 18% before profit drops.
Scenarios: lose 5% (475 units): margin 10,450. Lose 15% (425): 9,350. Lose 25% (375): 8,250.
Segments: contract customers need notice; check terms [VERIFY].
Verdict: green for small loss, amber if more than 18%. Review after eight weeks.
