Table 4What remains human when AI enters value-based pricing?
| Candidate AI contribution | Human responsibility | Minimum record |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster value observations | Check whether the observations describe the same value event and population. | Input set, grouping rule, reviewer, and correction. |
| Draft alternative value statements | Test fidelity to the buyer, user, delivery boundary, and authorizing role. | Version, source observations, accepted edits, and owner. |
| Map baselines and comparisons | Decide whether the alternative, prior state, cost, or counterfactual is defensible. | Comparison definition, assumptions, and disposition. |
| Flag missing delivery evidence | Set the acceptance criterion and decide whether the gap blocks a price decision. | Missing field, threshold, reviewer, and reason. |
| Suggest the next test | Approve the risk, reversibility, review date, and commercial action. | Recommendation, override, rationale, and outcome. |
