Customer evidence.
Turned into pricing power.

Curly’s uses world-class monetization research and a proprietary, AI-assisted analysis system to find the pricing moves most likely to create revenue and EBITDA.

The operating idea

ONE

We research pricing decisions the way exceptional product teams research what to build.

We borrow the customer-centered discipline made visible by product teams at companies like Spotify and Intuit: observe real behavior, combine qualitative and quantitative evidence, and test before committing.

Then we apply that discipline to one commercial question: where is the business creating more value than it captures?

01 / ORIENTADVISORY CALL OR WORKSHOP
01

Baseline the business.

We start with the business as it exists today: the pricing model, packaging, discounting, performance, strategic constraints, and the opportunities management already suspects.

You leave with

A sharper problem definition, a hypothesis map, and clarity on what evidence the decision actually requires.

02 / DIAGNOSEPRICING ASSESSMENT
02

Size the prize before funding the research.

We examine the current model, available customer evidence, unit economics, and likely value-capture gaps to determine whether there is a material opportunity worth pursuing.

NO NEW CUSTOMER RESEARCH YET

This is a commercial diagnostic—not a promise of precision before the buyer evidence exists.

You leave with

A directional size of prize, the most credible opportunity hypotheses, and a go / no-go decision on deeper work.

03 / RESEARCHPRICING TRANSFORMATION
03

Model how buyers actually buy.

Through interviews, quantitative surveys, and pricing experiments, we reconstruct the purchase decision—not merely the answer to “what would you pay?”

01Maximum willingness to pay
02Acceptable price range—and why
03Feature and offer preferences
04Alternatives, tradeoffs, and triggers
You leave with

A complete, evidence-backed model of how different buyers value, compare, and choose.

04 / ANALYZEPROPRIETARY 27-METRIC MODEL
04

Run the evidence through 27 commercial signals.

Our AI-assisted analysis system pores over the research to find mispricing, monetization leakage, segment differences, and high-value patterns that are difficult to see manually.

01

Price–Value Delta

Where realized customer value and current price diverge.

02

WTP Compression Ratio

Where one offer forces unlike buyers into the same price.

03

Monetization Leakage Index

Where value is created but not captured in the model.

04

Buyer Friction Coefficient

Where price matters less than another purchase barrier.

+23 additional metrics across willingness to pay, value concentration, package migration, alternatives, expansion, and commercial friction.

05 / ACTVALUE-CREATION PLAN
05

Turn the findings into a 12-month value plan.

We model the revenue and EBITDA upside of the strongest opportunities, rank them by impact and confidence, and translate the research into decisions the team can implement.

REVENUEEBITDA12-MONTH PLAN
You leave with

A prioritized recommendation, scenario economics, execution roadmap, and hands-on support where implementation needs it.

Why Curly’s is different

Most growth advice starts with a tactic.
We start with buyer evidence.

10×OUR COMMERCIAL FILTER

The standard before we start

At least ten dollars of revenue opportunity for every dollar of fees.

That is the return we aim to identify. If we do not believe the economics can support a 10× outcome, we should not start the engagement.

Pressure-test the opportunity

Bring one consequential pricing question

We’ll build the evidence
to answer it.
