# Pricing and Packaging Tracker ## Purpose Build a pricing time series, not a pricing opinion. This is the one monitor where the **raw capture matters as much as the read**. Tier names, list prices, billing periods, units, inclusions, limits, add-ons, minimums, published discounts, trial terms, and the "contact us" boundary — captured verbatim, with a URL and a date, before a word of interpretation. The reason is simple and easy to underestimate: **next quarter's question is always more specific than this quarter's read.** "Did their record limit move?" cannot be answered by a note saying "pricing simplified." A tracker that stores only your interpretation has destroyed the data it was built to preserve. ## When to Use It Use it weekly or monthly on a small set of competitors whose pricing actually affects your deals.
