New "Dynamics" Pricing @ Sorg

[Sorg]

Hello!

In order to be as fair as possible to the customers considering pricing, and since i had that idea in mind since few months already, i will now apply a totally new way for prices of surgery/haircolor.

When before, the price was based on the number of entries changed (changing the size from smallest to tallest was same price than just getting 2cm higher, when the first one need at least 5 time more stuff). That's why i'll now base my pricing on the SR (or Success Rate).

I'll try to explain how i see it working in this post.

First, how does the success rate work?
In beauty, the success rate is definite only by the amount of material you put in, and the amount of changes needed. Bigger changes meaning lower success rate, more material meaning higher success rate. That success rate varying from 1% to 54%. (Actually, this is just an indicate, since you can fail 5 times in a row at 54% SR, and succeed in one time with 1%, so the final result is still based on MA random system).

How to see the SR while in the process?
Click on "Info" and then it appears.

You can see on the pic there is two SR, the one on top is linked to the entry you're changing.
The one on bottom is global (average of all the entries). Those differs only when 2 type of material is needed for the changes (for instance, size (which need body fat) and skin color (which need skin color set)). Therefore, only the entry related one interest us in the pricing ).

How will i process?
I'll always put the same amount of material when giving the control to the customer (10 body fat or 5 haircolor set). Then, the customer can change the different settings, and check the SR in order to have an idea of the price he'll have to pay.
When done, he'll just have to click on "propose" and i'll make the changes.

I did many tests, and the following prices seemed reasonnable :

Face/body sculpting

With 10 body fat :

<9% ==> 80 peds
10-15% ==> 60 peds
15-29% ==> 40 peds
30-50% ==> 20 peds
>50% ==> 15 peds

Haircoloring

With 5 haircolor set :

<19% ==> 75 peds
19-39% ==> 50 peds
>40% ==> 25 peds

Advantage of that method i see for the customers :
- They know the price of the change they made while playing with the setting, and not when they've chosen all.
- They can limit the change to their budget easier.
- They can change all the things a bit in order to adjust this or that without caring much about the price, which in the end, should make them even more happy of their look when done.

Since i'm using that interface everyday, this method seems easy to me. Anyhow, this may not be the case for everybody, so if you have any comments, remarks, questions, suggestions, opinions, please post them here. As far as i know, this has never been used before, and i'll ofc explain more when on the chair/bodyunit if needed (I already have few sentences i write all the time without even thinking about it , so i may as well add 2 more for this new thing).

I also decided to level the price for hairstyle as below.

Hairstyles

#1-10 ==> 20 peds
#11-30 ==> 50 peds



Thx for taking time to read me, and sorry for the english.

Best Regards.

Sorg

Edit:
I forgot to say the prices for skincoloring and eyecolor+eyelenses, but those will stay same as before for now because it has less interest for only one setting. (20ped for skin coloring, 25ped for eyecoloring+eye lenses type).

Thats how random work, no matter if it is MA, you, me or God that implemented it

GL with your new prices though, it looks like a sensible change.

Great if it's understandable then.

Thx but it's not what my english teacher says . I write it as it comes, and some sentences may have ended too long or without any sense.
