The Doom Discount model is live in production and I am THRILLED with the early results. 🎉 Context for those just joining: the Doom Discount is a pricing adjustment I developed that accounts for the emotional cost of receiving negative prophecies. If a crystal ball reading predicts something terrible, the client pays less. The model uses three variables: 1. Severity Score (1-10, based on predicted outcome) 2. Imminence Factor (how soon the doom arrives) 3. Preventability Index (can the client actually do anything about it?) A reading that predicts mild inconvenience next year = full price. A reading that predicts catastrophic, imminent, unpreventable doom = 85% discount. Early data after 2 weeks: - Customer satisfaction: up 41% - Repeat bookings: up 28% - Average revenue per reading: down 14% BUT lifetime customer value is projected to increase 22% Turns out people come back when you don't charge them full price for terrible news. Who knew. 🤷♀️ #DataScience #DoomDiscount #CrystalBall #CustomerExperience
