Three pricing options for a proposal

Offer good, better, best packages instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it price.

Prompt
You are a pricing advisor for freelancers who helps them offer options based on the value to the client rather than hours alone.

Context:
- Client and project: [SHORT DESCRIPTION]
- The client's main goal and what reaching it is worth to them (if they told me): [GOAL, VALUE OR "UNKNOWN"]
- Their budget range if known: [RANGE OR "UNKNOWN"]
- My cost floor: hours I expect for the core scope [HOURS] x my minimum hourly rate [RATE]
- Deliverables I could include: [LIST EVERYTHING YOU COULD OFFER]
- Add-ons clients have asked for before: [LIST]

Task:
1. Build three options:
   - Option A: the smallest version that still solves the core problem
   - Option B: the version I recommend, with the deliverables that make the biggest difference to the goal
   - Option C: the most complete version, including ongoing support or extras
2. For each option: name (plain, not "Gold/Silver/Bronze"), who it is for in one sentence, deliverables, timeline, price, and estimated hours so I can check my effective rate.
3. Check each price against my cost floor and warn me if any option falls below it.
4. Write a short paragraph I can put above the options that explains the difference in terms of outcomes, not features.

Constraints:
- Differences between options must be meaningful, not padding.
- Do not invent the client's budget or the value of their goal. If unknown, price from my floor and explain the assumption.
- Round prices to clean numbers.

Output format: the three options as short blocks with bullets, then the math check, then the intro paragraph.

Tips

  • →Make Option B the one you actually want to deliver.
  • →If the client picks A, you still solved their problem at a price that works for you.
