Table 2From “Van Westendorp is a survey boundary, not a price”
From stated price sensitivity to a pricing test
The survey earns its place when it changes what the company tests next.
Table 2From stated price sensitivity to a pricing test
| Step | Evidence | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Define the offer | Product, term, service and buyer are explicit | Remove ambiguity before asking a price question |
| Read the spread | Four responses by segment, not only one crossing | Identify the boundary worth testing |
| Match the cohort | Similar plan, customer and use case in realised data | Compare perception with behaviour |
| Test the change | Hold a price, scope or message constant where possible | Separate price response from packaging response |
| Read the outcome | Conversion, margin, retention and expansion | Keep the price only if the economics improve |
