Best for

  • Estimating price elasticity coefficients for SaaS subscription tiers using instrumental variables
  • Measuring promotional discount lift while controlling for seasonal confounders using difference-in-differences
  • Building causal graphs (DAGs) to identify confounders in dynamic pricing impact analysis
  • Designing A/B tests for price changes with proper power calculation and interference detection
  • Isolating competitor price response effects from own-price effects using synthetic control methods

What you'll get

  • Causal estimation report with DAG visualization, identification strategy selection rationale, and elasticity coefficients with bootstrapped confidence intervals
  • Experimental design document specifying randomization strategy, sample size calculations, and interference mitigation approaches
  • Robustness analysis comparing multiple identification methods (IV, DiD, RDD) with sensitivity tests and practical effect size interpretation
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Basic correlation analysis between price and sales without causal identification
  • ×General business intelligence dashboards or descriptive pricing analytics
  • ×Market research surveys or customer willingness-to-pay studies
  • ×Simple regression models without addressing endogeneity or confounders
Expects

Transaction-level data with price variations, relevant confounders (seasonality, marketing, competitor prices), and a clearly defined causal question about price impact.

Returns

Rigorous causal estimates with confidence intervals, identification strategy justification, robustness checks, and practical recommendations for pricing decisions.
