Context you provide

• {{product_or_service}}: The product or service you plan to offer on a subscription basis.
• {{current_model}}: Your existing revenue model (e.g., one-time purchase, freemium, or none).
• {{customer_base}}: A brief description of your current or target customers (e.g., B2B, B2C, demographics).
• {{goals}}: Your primary objectives (e.g., revenue growth, customer retention, market expansion).
• {{constraints}}: Any limitations (e.g., budget, technology, time).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided information to recommend a subscription model structure, including pricing tiers, billing frequency, and value-added services.
3. Develop a customer retention strategy, including engagement tactics, churn reduction, and loyalty programs.
4. Identify potential challenges (e.g., pricing resistance, technical integration, customer migration) and propose mitigation strategies.
5. Provide a phased implementation timeline with key milestones and success metrics.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Executive Summary, Recommended Model, Pricing Strategy, Retention Plan, Implementation Timeline, and Key Metrics. Use clear headings, bullet points, and a professional tone. Aim for 500–800 words.

• Flag any assumptions you make about the product or market.
• Stay within the scope of subscription model implementation; do not delve into unrelated business strategy.
