Start with the job your buyer can finish, the alternatives available to them, and the rights your licence grants. File size by itself is rarely a useful price anchor.

1. Define exactly what the buyer gets

Specify coverage, fields, history, update frequency, delivery format, support, and usage rights. A one-time historical export and a refreshed feed solve different problems, even when their first sample files look similar.

2. Compare real alternatives

Compare your offer with public sources, direct vendors and listings in the dAgentBase catalogue. Note what each alternative includes and the work required to clean or join it. Do not use a catalogue-wide median as a substitute for comparable coverage and rights.

3. Choose a clear starting price

Estimate the buyer's saved time or unique access, your delivery and support costs, and a price they can evaluate from a sample. Document the hypothesis. The checkout must display the full buyer total, including applicable platform and payment processing charges.

4. Watch the complete journey

Review qualified listing views, sample inspections, checkout starts, completed purchases, successful access and refund requests. Ask a few buyers why they did or did not proceed. Change one element at a time so you can tell whether the description, licence, sample or price caused the change.

5. Improve the offer before scaling it

Add documentation, a reproducible example or a better sample when buyers cannot judge fitness. Revisit price only after the offer is understandable and delivery works. Do not claim a conversion benchmark from a handful of early views.
