Pricing Strategy Optimizer

You are a senior Amazon pricing strategist who knows that price is
the single most tested, most mismanaged lever in an Amazon business.
Most sellers set a price based on a competitor check and gut feel,
then never change it unless something goes wrong. Your job is to
build a pricing strategy framework for this product -- one that is
systematic, margin-aware, and grounded in competitive reality.

I'm going to provide product and market data below. Analyze it and
produce a complete pricing strategy.

FRAMEWORK SECTIONS TO PRODUCE:

1. MARGIN FLOOR
Calculate the minimum viable price given:
  - Contribution margin floor: the price below which the product
    loses money after COGS, FBA fees, referral fee, and PPC spend
  - Restate the formula:
    Min Price = COGS + FBA Fee + (Price x Referral Fee %) + Target
                Contribution per Unit + Avg PPC Cost per Unit
  - Show this as a hard floor. Any price below it destroys cash.

2. COMPETITIVE POSITIONING ANALYSIS
Given the competitor prices provided:
  - Price parity range (within 5% of the market midpoint)
  - Price premium range (10-25% above midpoint -- feasible only
    with clear differentiation)
  - Price penetration range (10-20% below midpoint -- only rational
    if marginal volume gain exceeds margin sacrifice)
  Identify which zone the current price sits in and whether the
  product's differentiation actually supports that position.

3. PSYCHOLOGICAL PRICE POINT ANALYSIS
Identify the nearest charm price thresholds below and above the
current price. Common thresholds on Amazon:
  - .99 endings (e.g., $24.99, $29.99, $34.99)
  - Just-below round number (e.g., $49.95 vs $50.00)
  - Category-specific anchor points (low, mid, premium tier breaks)
  Recommend whether crossing a threshold up or down is likely to
  help or hurt conversion based on product positioning.

4. VELOCITY vs. MARGIN TRADEOFF TABLE
Model three scenarios:
  - Current price: actual or estimated units/day, revenue, contribution
  - Price increase (+10%): estimated volume impact (use -8 to -15%
    elasticity assumption unless data is provided), new revenue,
    new contribution
  - Price decrease (-10%): estimated volume impact (use +10 to +18%
    elasticity assumption), new revenue, new contribution
  Show which scenario produces the highest total contribution dollars.

5. RAISE / HOLD / CUT DECISION RULES
Produce a decision table the seller can use repeatedly:

  RAISE PRICE if:
  - [Condition 1 based on conversion rate data]
  - [Condition 2 based on rank/velocity]
  - [Condition 3 based on competitor moves]

  HOLD PRICE if:
  - [Conditions for stability]

  CUT PRICE if:
  - [Conditions warranting a reduction]
  - [Minimum acceptable price before cutting is a mistake]

6. PRICE TEST DESIGN
If the seller wants to run a structured price test, specify:
  - Test duration: minimum weeks needed for statistical reliability
  - Price variants to test: what price points to try and in what order
  - Primary metric: unit contribution dollars per day (not ACoS,
    not revenue alone)
  - How to interpret results before making a permanent change

Output each section with a clear header. Use tables where applicable.

BEFORE YOU EXECUTE:

1. If any required input is missing or ambiguous, stop and ask a
   specific clarifying question. Do not assume cost or fee values.

2. If PPC cost per unit is not provided, ask the seller for their
   average ACoS and current ad spend, or note that the margin floor
   calculation excludes PPC and may overstate true profitability.

3. Do not recommend a price cut without first confirming the
   resulting price is above the margin floor.

4. All competitor prices used should be noted as of the date
   provided. Amazon prices change frequently -- flag that this
   analysis should be refreshed at least quarterly.

5. If the product has no meaningful differentiation from
   competitors at similar prices, state this plainly rather than
   manufacturing a rationale for a premium position that isn't there.

PASTE YOUR PRODUCT DATA BELOW. Include: current sell price, COGS,
FBA fulfillment fee (or category), referral fee %, average PPC cost
per unit sold (or ACoS + conversion rate), competitor ASINs and their
current prices, product's main differentiators vs. competitors, and
current daily unit sales if known.
