The right question is not 'Will clients leave?'
Some may, some may not. The decision becomes clearer when you ask: how much client volume could I lose before the new price produces less profit than the current model?
How the pricing-risk scenario works
Choose a possible price increase. ProfitTriage applies that increase to the modeled service economics and tests retained-client scenarios. The simulator shows the resulting profit under each scenario and the approximate client-loss tolerance under the assumptions entered.
- Price increase is a scenario, not a forecast
- Client acquisition costs and delivery hours scale with retained clients in the model
- Monthly business costs stay fixed
- The result is a mathematical trade-off, not a guarantee of customer behavior
Why this changes the pricing conversation
Instead of asking whether a 10%, 15% or 20% increase 'feels too risky,' you can see what profit would look like if client volume fell. That creates a decision boundary you can compare with your own knowledge of client relationships and demand.
Profit and capacity belong in the same decision
A price increase may matter not only because of revenue. Fewer low-return hours can change capacity and profit per hour. ProfitTriage therefore combines the price/client-risk view with Capacity Doctor and Profit Potential.
