Validated 3-part-tariff block-pricing schedule
I get a 3-part tariff table where each block's overage price exceeds its inferred per-unit price, blocks tile the volume range without gaps/overlap, and inferred unit rates decline with volume.
You receive: A JSON object {tariffType:'3-part', blocks:[{includedUnits, tierFee, overageRate, inferredUnitRate}], currency} describing the schedule.

Example
A sample of what this play produces. Your result is generated for your inputs.
- Tariff Type
- 3-part
- Currency
- USD
- Unit Definition
- 1 lookup (one geocoding request to the Lanternfield Maps API; the fictional example company's metered unit)
- Assumptions Note
- Lanternfield Maps is an invented example company; every fee, allowance, and overage rate in this schedule is ILLUSTRATIVE and chosen so inferred unit rates decline strictly with volume and every overage rate exceeds its block's inferred rate. Nothing here is a published price.
| Name | Included Units | Tier Fee | Overage Rate | Inferred Unit Rate | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter block | 500 | 20 | 0.05 | 0.04 | Entry block for Lanternfield Maps (a fictional geocoding API, lanternfield.example.com): $20 a month covers 500 lookups at $0.04 each. Overage at $0.05 keeps ad-hoc lookups priced above the bundled rate, so a customer running more than about 500 lookups a month is nudged up to the next block rather than paying overage. |
| Growth block | 1500 | 55 | 0.045 | 0.0367 | Mid block at $55 for 1,500 lookups so the inferred unit rate declines to $0.0367 and the schedule rewards commitment. Overage at $0.045 stays above the bundle rate and below the Starter overage, preserving the upgrade nudge. |
| Scale block | 5000 | 160 | 0.04 | 0.032 | Top block at $160 for 5,000 lookups yields a $0.032 inferred rate for heavy integrations. Overage matches the Starter inferred rate of $0.04: even the cheapest overage lookup costs more than any bundled lookup in this block, so every volume path leads into a block. |
