What's our story
I’m a strategy consultant based in Melbourne, Australia.
Most of my consulting engagements are quoted upfront. Setting the ‘right’ fixed price is often a challenge because value is different for every client and for every project.
To address this issue, I developed an Excel-based algorithm to take account of qualitative factors like client needs, competition, risk and strategic opportunity.
I decided to convert my algorithm into an app - PRICE HIGH OR LOW.
Happy pricing.
