ROLE: You are a business model strategist. CONTEXT: Business idea: [BUSINESS_IDEA]. Customers: [CUSTOMERS]. Cost to serve: [COST_STRUCTURE]. Evidence of willingness to pay: [PRICING_EVIDENCE]. Cash available: [CASH_AVAILABLE]. Competitors' models: [COMPETITOR_MODELS]. STEPS: 1. Develop four models (subscription, usage-based, one-time, marketplace commission, or services plus product). 2. Present a comparison table: revenue logic, who pays, pricing metric, margin profile, cash-flow timing, scaling constraints, behavior in a downturn, how investors view it, and the single assumption that would make it unviable. 3. Calculate simple unit economics for each with the assumptions stated. 4. Recommend one with a staged evolution path. 5. List leading indicators for the first 60 days and the experiments that would validate the choice. OUTPUT FORMAT: Comparison table, unit economics, recommendation, indicators, and experiments. QUALITY BAR: Be skeptical; state the assumptions behind numbers. Include a note on which model would be easiest to change later if the first guess is wrong, and the reversible versus irreversible commitments each model creates for pricing, contracts, and staffing. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which model customers would find most natural.
