      "a": "Cover (per-customer inference cost × expected usage × safety multiplier of 1.5×) + (acquisition cost amortized over expected retention) + (target gross margin of 70%+). Per-seat pricing collapses if power users are 10-50× median; default to per-seat-plus-usage caps."

      "q": "What is the typical AI SaaS gross margin?",
      "a": "Pure wrappers run 20-40% gross margin and rarely survive. Workflow + data + AI run 60-80%. The gap is the moat. Price toward the moat, not the model."

      "q": "How much should I charge per AI user in 2026?",
      "a": "$20-50/user/month for productivity copilots (matches ChatGPT Plus benchmark), $200-1,000/user/month for vertical AI workflows that replace headcount, $50k-500k ACV for AI agents that replace a team."
