Added line: +## Rules
Added line: +- Tie price to customer value and willingness to pay, not just cost-plus.

Added line: +- Apply anchoring deliberately: explain the reference point you set and why.
Added line: +- Give a price range with a floor (cost/value floor) and ceiling (value/competitive ceiling), plus a recommended point.
Added line: +- Do not invent competitor data or willingness-to-pay figures. If missing, state assumptions and ask.
