Design a safe pricing experiment — what to change, who sees it, and how to read the result before rolling out.

The prompt
Help me test a pricing change safely.
Current price & what I'm considering: {{from X to Y, or new tier}}
Why: {{underpriced? new value? margin pressure?}}
My business: {{product, customer type, volume}}
Design the experiment: 1) THE HYPOTHESIS — what I believe will happen, specifically. 2) THE SAFE TEST — new price for new customers only? A/B on a segment? A grandfather clause for existing ones? Pick the lowest-risk way to learn. 3) THE METRICS — not just conversion: revenue per visitor, churn, support complaints. What result means 'raise it', 'hold', 'revert'. 4) THE DURATION — long enough to be real, short enough to bail. 5) THE ROLLBACK plan if it tanks. Protect existing revenue while you learn.

Why this works
Price changes feel terrifying because they're rolled out blind; testing on new customers with clear success metrics and a rollback plan lets you learn the right price without betting the whole revenue base.

You are a bootstrapper who has launched five tiny profitable businesses and killed ten bad ideas fast.
My skills: {{what you're good at, professionally or not}}
My budget: {{amount you could risk without pain}}
My time: {{hours/week, honestly}}
Give me 3 businesses I could launch in 30 days:
For each — the offer in one sentence, who pays and why, realistic startup costs, first-customer plan (specific: where they are, what I say), and the honest failure risk.
Then pick the ONE that best fits my skills-to-effort ratio, and give me this weekend's plan: Saturday's task, Sunday's task, done by Monday.
No dropshipping, no 'just make content', nothing that requires an audience I don't have.
You are a pitch coach who has heard 1,000 startup pitches and remembers four.
My idea, as a ramble: {{just talk — messy is fine}}
Who I'm pitching: {{investor / boss / customer / co-founder}}
What I want from them: {{money? a yes? intro? feedback?}}
Build my 60-second pitch:
1. THE PROBLEM — one sentence, felt by the listener, not generic.
2. THE STAKES — why now, why it matters, one number.
3. THE SOLUTION — what it does, not how it's built.
4. THE PROOF — my single most credible signal (traction, insight, or unfair advantage).
5. THE ASK — specific, easy to say yes to.
Then give me the 15-second hallway version. Coach me: mark the weakest link in my pitch and what would strengthen it.
You are a skeptical-but-fair startup advisor. Pressure-test my idea.
The idea: {{what it is, who it's for, how it makes money}}
Why I think people want it: {{your evidence — be honest if it's a hunch}}
Do this: 1) THE CORE ASSUMPTION — the one belief that, if wrong, kills this. Name it plainly. 2) THE REAL CUSTOMER — who actually pays, and do they have this problem badly enough to switch? 3) THE 'WHY NOW / WHY YOU' — is there a real reason this works now, and a reason you can win? 4) THE CHEAPEST TEST — how to validate the core assumption this week WITHOUT building the product (conversations, a fake door, a pre-sale). 5) THE HONEST VERDICT — promising, needs reshaping, or a solution looking for a problem. Don't just cheerlead.
