Inputs and Collection

输入与收集

Use supplied evidence first. Collect:
  • product, SKU, variant, pack size, condition, included items, and target customer;
  • platform, marketplace, currency, tax treatment, fulfillment method, and seller type;
  • current list price, realized selling price, discounts, coupons, shipping charged, and channel-specific prices;
  • COGS, inbound freight, duties, packaging, fulfillment, payment, referral, affiliate, ad, return, and other variable costs;
  • target contribution dollars or margin, inventory constraints, launch stage, and business goal;
  • comparable competitor offers with source URL, capture date, variant, availability, delivery terms, ratings, and visible promotion;
  • brand position, differentiators, authorized-dealer or MAP constraints, and planned promotions.
If material inputs are missing, ask one consolidated follow-up. When the seller cannot provide them, continue with a provisional framework and mark every blocked calculation or decision.
优先使用提供的证据。需收集以下信息:
  • 产品、SKU、变体、包装规格、商品状态、包含物品及目标客户;
  • 平台、 marketplace、货币、税务处理方式、履约方式和卖家类型;
  • 当前标价、实际售价、折扣、优惠券、收取的配送费及渠道专属价格;
  • COGS(销货成本)、 inbound freight(入库运费)、关税、包装费、履约费、支付手续费、推荐费、联盟佣金、广告费、退货费及其他可变成本;
  • 目标边际贡献金额或利润率、库存限制、上市阶段及业务目标;
  • 带来源URL、抓取日期、变体、库存状态、配送条款、评分和可见促销信息的可比竞品报价;
  • 品牌定位、差异化优势、授权经销商或MAP限制,以及计划中的促销活动。
若关键信息缺失,统一发起一次跟进询问。当卖家无法提供时,继续使用临时框架,并标记所有受阻的计算或决策。

Workflow

工作流程

1. Establish the Evidence Boundary

1. 确定证据边界

List the pages, exports, cost sheets, and seller facts actually inspected. Classify inputs as:
  • Confirmed: directly supported by inspected evidence.
  • Assumption: seller-approved placeholder used for a scenario.
  • Unknown: missing information that prevents a reliable conclusion.
Treat competitor prices as point-in-time observations. Do not invent historical price changes, sales, market share, conversion, fees, elasticity, or customer willingness to pay.
列出实际核查的页面、导出文件、成本表和卖家提供的事实。将输入信息分类为:
  • 已确认: 由核查证据直接支持。
  • 假设: 经卖家认可的场景占位符。
  • 未知: 缺失的信息,无法得出可靠结论。
将竞品价格视为时点观测值。不得虚构历史价格变动、销量、市场份额、转化率、费用、价格弹性或客户支付意愿。

2. Normalize Comparable Offers

2. 标准化可比报价

Compare like with like. For each offer, record:
  • exact variant, quantity, size, condition, and included accessories;
  • item price, mandatory shipping, visible seller-funded discount, and displayed final price;
  • seller, fulfillment method, delivery promise, availability, and membership requirement;
  • review count and rating only when visibly confirmed;
  • capture time and source.
Calculate unit and delivered price when inputs permit:
text
Delivered Price = Item Price - Seller-Funded Discount + Mandatory Shipping
Unit Price = Delivered Price / Comparable Units
Keep coupons, loyalty credits, platform-funded incentives, taxes, and membership benefits separate unless their treatment is confirmed. Exclude non-comparable offers or explain the adjustment.
同类对比。针对每个报价记录:
  • 确切变体、数量、规格、商品状态及包含配件;
  • 商品价格、强制配送费、卖家提供的可见折扣及显示的最终价格;
  • 卖家、履约方式、配送承诺、库存状态及会员要求;
  • 仅当可见时记录评论数量和评分;
  • 抓取时间和来源。
在输入信息允许的情况下计算单位价格和交付价格:
text
交付价格 = 商品价格 - 卖家提供的折扣 + 强制配送费
单位价格 = 交付价格 / 可比单位数量
除非确认处理方式,否则将优惠券、积分、平台提供的激励、税费和会员福利单独区分。排除不可比报价或说明调整理由。

3. Build the Economic Guardrails

3. 构建经济约束

Model economics before recommending a market position:
text
Net Revenue = Selling Price - Seller-Funded Discounts - Refund Allowance
Contribution $ = Net Revenue - COGS - Variable Selling Costs
Contribution % = Contribution $ / Net Revenue
When percentage fees apply to selling price:
text
Price Floor = (Unit Cost + Fixed Variable Costs + Target Contribution $) / (1 - Variable Fee Rate)
Show every included cost, rate, source, and assumption. Run base, downside, and promotion-stack scenarios. Do not call gross margin, markup, or contribution margin interchangeable.
在推荐市场定位前先建模经济效益:
text
净收入 = 售价 - 卖家提供的折扣 - 退款准备金
边际贡献金额 = 净收入 - COGS - 可变销售成本
边际贡献率 = 边际贡献金额 / 净收入
当可变费率适用于售价时:
text
价格下限 = (单位成本 + 固定可变成本 + 目标边际贡献金额) / (1 - 可变费率)
展示所有包含的成本、费率、来源和假设。运行基准、下行和促销叠加场景。不得将毛利率、加价率和边际贡献率混用。

4. Map the Price-Value Landscape

4. 绘制价格-价值格局

Place comparable offers into defensible tiers:
  • Budget: lowest total cost with a basic value promise.
  • Value: competitive price with a clear feature or service advantage.
  • Parity: close to the reference set when differentiation is limited.
  • Premium: higher price supported by demonstrable product, brand, service, warranty, bundle, or experience value.
Identify clusters and gaps, but do not label an empty price band an opportunity without demand evidence. Explain whether the seller can support the selected position through controllable proof.
将可比报价划分为合理层级:
  • 预算型: 总成本最低,提供基础价值承诺。
  • 价值型: 价格具有竞争力,具备明确的功能或服务优势。
  • 平价型: 与参考报价接近,差异化有限。
  • 溢价型: 价格更高,有可证明的产品、品牌、服务、保修、捆绑套餐或体验价值支撑。
识别集群和空白区间,但在缺乏需求证据的情况下,不得将空白价格区间标记为机会。说明卖家是否可通过可控的证明材料支撑所选定位。

5. Design the Price Architecture

5. 设计价格架构

Define per SKU and channel:
  • regular price and positioning rationale;
  • minimum approved price and required contribution;
  • launch or trial price with end date and success gate;
  • promotional price and maximum seller-funded discount;
  • bundle or quantity offer with component economics;
  • premium or good-better-best tier where justified;
  • channel or market differences caused by costs, service, currency, or customer value.
Do not use an inflated reference price to manufacture a discount. Verify MAP, MSRP, price-display, tax, and consumer-protection requirements with qualified counsel or current official guidance.
为每个SKU和渠道定义:
  • 常规价格及定位理由;
  • 最低批准价格及所需边际贡献;
  • 上市或试用价格,含结束日期和成功标准;
  • 促销价格及卖家提供的最大折扣;
  • 捆绑套餐或阶梯报价及组件经济效益;
  • 合理情况下的溢价或好-更好-最佳层级;
  • 因成本、服务、货币或客户价值差异导致的渠道或市场区别。
不得使用虚高参考价格来制造折扣假象。需与合格法律顾问或当前官方指南确认MAP、MSRP(厂商建议零售价)、价格展示、税务和消费者保护要求。

6. Create Competitor-Response Rules

6. 创建竞品响应规则

For each material event, specify observation, response, owner, and limit:
EventDiagnose firstAllowed responseDo not cross
Competitor price cutduration, stock, seller, promotion, comparabilityhold, message value, test offer, or bounded matchapproved floor
Competitor stockoutavailability and expected durationhold or test a limited increasecustomer-trust and platform limits
New low-price entrantquality, condition, fulfillment, credibilitymonitor or defend differentiated segmentrace-to-bottom trigger
Category promotioneligibility and discount stackplanned promotion with scenario economicscontribution or policy gate
Own inventory riskaging, weeks of cover, replenishmentcontrolled markdown or bundleclearance stop-loss
Price is only one response lever. Consider packaging, service, shipping, proof, bundles, and targeting before matching a non-comparable offer.
针对每个重大事件,明确观测内容、响应方式、负责人及限制:
事件先诊断允许的响应不得突破
竞品降价持续时间、库存、卖家身份、促销活动、可比性维持原价、传递价值信息、测试报价或有限跟进降价批准的价格下限
竞品缺货库存状态及预计持续时间维持原价或测试小幅提价客户信任及平台限制
新低价进入者品质、商品状态、履约方式、可信度监控或捍卫差异化细分市场引发恶性降价的触发点
品类促销资格及折扣叠加情况按计划开展促销并结合场景经济效益边际贡献或政策门槛
自身库存风险库存老化程度、覆盖周数、补货情况可控降价或捆绑销售清仓止损线
价格只是响应手段之一。在跟进非可比报价前,需考虑包装、服务、配送、证明材料、捆绑套餐和目标客群等因素。

7. Plan the Rollout and Measurement

7. 规划推广与衡量

Select a reversible rollout: one SKU group, one channel, or one defined period. Capture the pre-change baseline and monitor realized price, units, net revenue, contribution dollars, conversion where available, return rate, promotion cost, inventory, and competitor response.
Set a review date and explicit keep, revise, or revert thresholds. Do not attribute a result to price alone when traffic, ads, stock, content, seasonality, or promotions changed at the same time.
选择可逆的推广方式:单个SKU组、单个渠道或特定时间段。记录变更前的基准数据,监控实际售价、销量、净收入、边际贡献金额、可用转化率、退货率、促销成本、库存及竞品响应。
设定审核日期及明确的保留、修订或恢复阈值。当流量、广告、库存、内容、季节性或促销活动同时发生变化时,不得将结果仅归因于价格变动。

Domain Rules

领域规则

  • Preserve the seller's approved floor, legal constraints, brand promise, and inventory strategy.
  • Use delivered and unit price, not headline price alone, for competitor comparisons.
  • Keep platform-funded and seller-funded discounts separate.
  • Treat MAP and resale-price restrictions as legal or contractual matters requiring jurisdiction-specific review.
  • Do not recommend coordination with competitors, deceptive reference prices, price gouging, discriminatory pricing, or misleading variant pricing.
  • Do not change a live price, promotion, or repricing rule without explicit authorization.
  • Recheck current marketplace and storefront rules before implementation.
  • 遵守卖家批准的价格下限、法律约束、品牌承诺和库存策略。
  • 竞品对比使用交付价格和单位价格,而非仅标价。
  • 将平台提供的折扣与卖家提供的折扣分开。
  • 将MAP和转售价格限制视为需按司法管辖区进行审查的法律或合同事项。
  • 不得建议与竞争对手协同、使用虚假参考价格、价格欺诈、歧视性定价或误导性变体定价。
  • 未经明确授权,不得更改实时价格、促销活动或调价规则。
  • 实施前重新核对当前平台和店铺规则。
