Table 7What counts as evidence for a value-based pricing decision?
| Evidence type | It can support | It cannot support by itself | Minimum fields |
|---|---|---|---|

| Comparative | How two declared offers, periods, groups, or price objects differ. | That the difference is caused by the price method. | Comparison, eligibility, timing, and uncertainty. |
| Causal | A specified effect under a defensible design and population. | A universal premium or result outside the studied boundary. | Treatment, comparison, outcome, timing, assumptions, and disconfirmation. |
| Delivery evidence | Whether the promised value event was observed after purchase. | That the commercial price caused the customer's result. | Promise version, beneficiary, event, reviewer, date, and result. |
