# Nine questions help a company examine its pricing deployment

Published by World0, Inc. at https://world0.ai/diligence.html

These questions help a company's engineering and advisory teams establish the
system's structure, operating controls and available evidence.

---

## Structure and entities

1. Does one model instance or fitted model price for the company and a
   competitor?

## Shared components

2. Which model weights, data, estimates or other components are shared across
   deployments?

## Data and identification

3. Is any model fitted on pooled competitor data, and how has that use been
   evaluated?

## Configuration

4. Which configuration constants affect behavior, and who reviews them before
   deployment?

## Action space

5. What floors, caps or bands constrain prices, and what happens at their
   edges?

## Monitoring

6. Does monitoring cover unusual outcomes as well as averages, and what
   triggers review?

## Learning dynamics

7. Does the system refit or adapt as competitors respond?

## AI agent systems

8. For AI pricing agents, are the model version and operating settings
   recorded and reproducible?

## Evidence

9. Are the conditions and evaluation criteria fixed before the run, with a
   record connecting the tested configuration to results reviewers can
   recompute?
