Price fences that separate willingness-to-pay segments

I get a set of price fences that keep my higher and lower willingness-to-pay segments in their own tiers, so a low-value buyer cannot cheaply access the high-value price.

You receive: A JSON object { segments: [{ name, wtpRank }], fences: [{ type, description, separatesSegments: [...] }] } describing the fencing design.

Description
Pack size is the primary fence: the 500-credit pack at $20 covers one play at the typical 500-credit price (plays run 250 to 1,000 credits, $10 to $40), sized to a solo founder's cadence of roughly one play a month, while the 2,500-credit pack at $100 carries a small product team running plays across marketing, finance, and product at once. A solo founder cannot cheaply buy team-scale throughput in one purchase, and a team burns past 500 credits fast enough that buying the smallest pack repeatedly costs more in stalled runs than stepping up a pack size. Purchased credits never expire, so the fence is on throughput, not on urgency.

Description
The 5,000-credit pack at $200 bundles 750 bonus credits (5,750 credits in total, roughly 11 plays at the typical 500-credit price) with the headroom an ops or engineering lead adopting AI agents actually needs: enough to run recurring plays across a whole venture's fact base so results stay current and compound. Small product teams get the same plays from the 2,500-credit pack (with its 250 bonus credits), but the bundled scale only pays off for accounts operating STUD as standing infrastructure, which keeps mid-tier buyers from occupying the top pack.

Description
The annual prepay packs (6,000 credits for $240 with 1,500 bonus credits, or 18,000 credits for $720 with 5,000 bonus credits, bought once for the year) fence on commitment horizon: an ops or engineering lead standardizing on STUD for the year self-selects into an annual pack, while a solo founder trying the system pack by pack buys the one-time 500-credit pack at the same 4-cent peg. The fence is self-enforcing, the buyer reveals their planning horizon by how far ahead they prepay, and neither side can pose as the other without bearing that commitment.
