Judged, then paid: what is measured where
The four pillars of the measured record on raising prices, and where each stops.
| The layer | What is measured | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| The judgment | Cost-justified increases accepted, demand-driven condemned; size explains fairness better than motive | Households and one B2B service test; judgments, not purchases |
| The behavior | A cost-rooted B2B increase still cost revenue, rising with magnitude; the licensed story failed its one retention test, the market story worked | One chemical supplier (quasi-experimental); one consumer subscription provider |
| The bill | Managerial and customer-facing repricing costs dwarf the physical cost | One industrial firm, 1997; structure, not constants |
| The paper | 3 of 30 public standard terms cap the renewal increase; notice numbers mostly absent | Written defaults, one award-list frame; authorization, not exercise |
