1. Which of the following is a task that AI can effectively perform when designing pricing tiers?

   1. Replace post-purchase interviews about perceived value
   2. Draft three-tier pricing pages with clear feature ladders
   3. Forecast churn at a new price point without historical data
   4. Predict the exact price your specific market will pay

2. A software company wants to use AI to optimize its pricing tiers. Which approach would yield the LEAST reliable results?

   1. Relying solely on AI's price recommendations without buyer testing
   2. Asking AI to suggest features that could move between tiers
   3. Using AI to explain anchoring psychology in plain language
   4. Using AI to generate A/B test ideas for price experimentation

3. What is price anchoring?

   1. A technique where the first price a customer sees becomes their mental reference point for all subsequent prices
   2. A pricing model that links prices to actual usage metrics
   3. A strategy for gradually increasing prices across consecutive purchases
   4. A method of setting prices based solely on competitor pricing

4. In decoy pricing, what is the purpose of introducing a third pricing tier?

   1. To make the middle tier appear as the most attractive value proposition
   2. To offer the cheapest possible option for budget-conscious customers
   3. To provide a premium option for customers who want all possible features
   4. To test different payment frequencies with customers

5. A business owner notices that AI consistently recommends a middle-tier pricing structure. What should they do?

   1. Replace the AI with a different pricing tool
   2. Force the AI to argue for the cheapest and most expensive options instead
   3. Assume the middle tier is always the best choice
   4. Accept the recommendation since AI has analyzed market data

6. Why are post-purchase interviews valuable for pricing decisions?

   1. They help you understand what prices customers would have accepted
   2. They allow you to ask customers what competitors are charging
   3. They reveal how customers perceived the value of their purchase after the fact
   4. They provide data on competitor pricing strategies

7. When designing a feature ladder across pricing tiers, what is the primary goal?

   1. To ensure every feature is available in all tiers for customer satisfaction
   2. To make the basic tier as bare-bones as possible to drive upgrades
   3. To maximize the number of features in the premium tier
   4. To create a clear and logical progression of features that justifies increasing prices

8. What is the main limitation of using AI to forecast churn at a new price point?

   1. AI cannot account for how customers will react to psychological pricing cues
   2. AI cannot process large datasets quickly enough
   3. AI lacks access to your specific historical churn data
   4. AI is not sophisticated enough to handle pricing calculations

9. A company wants to validate whether a new pricing tier will work. Which approach combines AI assistance with real-world validation?

   1. Using AI to set prices and then never changing them
   2. Running an A/B test with real customers after using AI to design the tiers
   3. Asking AI to predict the exact revenue impact
   4. Replacing their pricing team entirely with AI recommendations

10. Why might AI struggle to account for a company's reputation in pricing decisions?

    1. Reputation has no measurable impact on pricing power
    2. Companies rarely have enough reputation data to feed AI systems
    3. Reputation is an intangible factor that varies by customer segment and changes over time
    4. AI cannot access publicly available information about companies

11. What role does a salesperson's skill play in pricing effectiveness?

    1. It only matters for enterprise deals, not for self-serve pricing
    2. It can influence what price a customer accepts through negotiation and value communication
    3. It should be eliminated to ensure consistent pricing across customers
    4. It has no impact since prices are set before sales conversations

12. An AI tool suggests pricing tiers. What should a business owner verify before implementing them?

    1. That the AI used the most recent version of the software
    2. That the tiers align with actual buyer behavior and market research
    3. That the AI was trained on data from their specific industry
    4. That the pricing pages look visually appealing

13. Which of these factors is LEAST likely to be accurately captured by AI when setting prices?

    1. Your brand's existing reputation and customer loyalty
    2. The psychological impact of price presentation
    3. Historical pricing data from your company
    4. Competitor pricing for similar products

14. What is a key risk of relying entirely on AI-generated pricing without human oversight?

    1. AI cannot calculate prices for digital products
    2. AI might suggest prices that are too low to be profitable
    3. AI will always suggest prices that are too high for customers
    4. AI might create tiers that ignore your specific market dynamics and business context

15. When AI suggests a three-tier pricing structure, why might the middle tier appear artificially attractive?

    1. AI tends to optimize for the option that seems most balanced to the average user
    2. AI cannot access data about customer preferences
    3. AI always prices the middle tier lowest to win customers
    4. AI is programmed to always recommend the middle option
