Explore monetization possibilities:

1. Value quantification
   - What's the economic value of what you deliver?
   - How much would they lose without you?
   - What's their willingness to pay?
   - What's your negotiating power?

2. Monetization models to test:
   - Usage-based (pay per X)
   - Subscription (fixed recurring)
   - Tiered (good/better/best)
   - Freemium (free + paid)
   - Pay-for-outcome (you pay if it works)
   - Revenue sharing (% of their gain)
   - Hybrid (subscription + usage)

   For each:
   - How would pricing work?
   - What's customer incentive to upgrade?
   - How aligned is customer interest with yours?
   - What's the payback period?

3. Pricing tactics:
   - Anchoring (what's your reference point?)
   - Bundling (what to include/exclude?)
   - Segmentation (who pays more?)
   - Psychological pricing (99 vs 100)

4. Compare models:
   - Which captures most value?
   - Which is easiest to sell?
   - Which has best unit economics?
   - Which is stickiest?
   - Which has best LTV?

5. Go-to-market:
   - If you switched models, what changes?
   - Customer communication?
   - Sales process?
   - Churn risk?

6. Quick test:
   - Smallest test to validate new model?
   - 10 customer experiment?
