x402
Business Frameworks — Value-Based Pricing Decision Engine is a paid API for AI agents from business-frameworks.matryoshka-paradigms.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).
Calculates price ceiling, floor, and margin room per customer segment using value-based pricing theory given a reference price, differentiation value, and incremental cost.

Output
Returns a structured decision per segment containing: price ceiling (reference price + differentiation value), price floor (incremental cost), and the pricing room between them, plus the rule-based decision rationale, the framework node text, and its public citations. All results are deterministic — no AI model inference involved.
Example use cases
SaaS tier pricing by customer segment
“My competitor charges $200/month for their analytics tool. My incremental cost to serve a customer is $20/month. I have two segments: mid-market companies who get $80 extra value from my superior dashboards, and early-stage startups for whom my tool delivers $30 less value than the alternative. What are the price ceiling, floor, and pricing room for each segment?”
Physical product pricing across retail channels
“I sell a premium coffee subscription. The reference commodity bag costs $15. My incremental cost per bag is $4. Specialty coffee drinkers get $20 of extra value from my sourcing story, while casual drinkers see only $5 of extra value versus the reference. What price ceiling and floor should I set for each customer group, and how much room do I have?”
Professional service pricing for two client tiers
“I'm a freelance UX designer. Clients can hire an offshore agency for $3,000 per project. My incremental cost is $500 per project. Enterprise clients get $2,500 in extra differentiation value from my domain expertise; startup clients only get $500 extra. Run the value-based pricing framework and tell me my ceiling, floor, and room for each client type.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://business-frameworks.matryoshka-paradigms.workers.dev/apply/growth/decide/price?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, rule-based value-based pricing decision grounded in economic theory rather than a generative AI guess. It is ideal when you have concrete numbers: a competitor reference price, your incremental cost, and an estimate of differentiation value per segment. Prefer this over spreadsheet models or LLM-generated advice when you need a citable, reproducible pricing output with an explicit ceiling/floor/room breakdown per customer segment.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (reference_price, incremental_cost, or segments) returns a validation error
- Segments array with zero items rejected by minItems:1 constraint
- Negative reference_price or incremental_cost rejected by minimum:0 constraint
- differentiation_value missing for a segment causes schema validation failure
- Network or worker runtime errors return HTTP 5xx
