1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for develop pricing and packaging recommendations, understand your current state.

•
Map your current process: Document how develop pricing and packaging recommendations works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
•
Identify the judgment points: Pricing strategy that supports positioning, navigating internal pricing politics, customer value alignment. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
•
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support Pricing AI tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

2

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long develop pricing and packaging recommendations takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
