System Directive • Copy and Paste Below 

Act as a seasoned SaaS Chief Revenue Officer and pricing strategist. I need a comprehensive, data-driven pricing architecture for our software product.

### PRODUCT PROFILE:
- Product Name: [PRODUCT_NAME]
- Value Delivered: [VALUE_DELIVERED]
- Target Segments: [TARGET_SEGMENTS_E_G_STARTER_PRO_ENTERPRISE]
- Primary Value Metric (e.g. seats, API calls, active users, storage, workflows): [VALUE_METRIC]
- Competitor Price Range: [COMPETITOR_BENCHMARK]
- Target Gross Margin: [TARGET_GROSS_MARGIN_E_G_80_PERCENT]

### DELIVERABLES:
1. **Tier Architecture (3 to 4 tiers)**:
   - Tier Name (e.g., Starter, Growth, Scale, Custom Enterprise)
   - Monthly and Annual (with 15-20% discount) list price
   - Target Persona & company size for each tier
   - Core Features included vs locked
   - Usage limits on primary value metric
2. **Feature Gating Strategy**: Explain which features belong in Growth vs Enterprise (e.g., SSO, audit logs, dedicated support, custom webhooks, SLA).
3. **Add-on & Expansion Revenue Mechanics**: Identify 2-3 high-margin add-ons to boost Net Revenue Retention (NRR).
4. **Unit Economics Guardrails**:
   - Estimated CAC payback period targets
   - Target LTV:CAC ratio (>3:1)
   - Churn mitigation incentives built into annual contracts.
5. **Pricing Page Copywriting**: Provide persuasive headline, subheadline, badge (e.g. 'Most Popular'), and CTA micro-copy for each tier.
