Monetizing Innovation is a framework for designing products that customers need, value, AND are willing to pay for. The core insight: price is not a number you slap on at the end — it's a measure of value that should guide what you build from the start.

The key shift: Move from "build the product, then figure out pricing" to "understand willingness to pay, then design the product around it."

72% of innovations fail from a monetization perspective — not because the product is bad, but because companies never validated that customers would actually pay for it.

Use when asked about "pricing strategy", "willingness to pay", "value metric", "packaging tiers", "good better best pricing", "subscription vs usage pricing", or "price before product". Helps design products customers will pay for and choose pricing models that capture value. Based on Madhavan Ramanujam's Monetizing Innovation framework from Simon-Kucher.
