A CAS Computer Algebra System like {SymPy,Sage} in a notebook can help define inequality relations to bound or limit the solution volume or hyper volume(s)
And then unit test functions can assert that a hypothesized model meets criteria for success
But in Python, for example, test_ functions can't return values to the test runner, they would need to write [solution evaluation score] outputs to a store or a file to be collected with the other build artifacts and attached to a GitHub Release, for example.
Eventually, costs = {a: 0, b: 2} so that it's costs[account:str|uint64] instead of cost_account, and then costs = ERP.reports[name,date].archived_output()
Monte Carlo simulation is possible with things like PyMC (MCMC) and TIL about PyVBMC. Agent-based simulation of consumers may or may not be more expensive or the same problem. In behavioral economics, many rational consumers make informed buying decisions.

As a market economist looking at product pricing, given maximal optimization for price And CLV customer lifetime value, what corrective forces will pull the price back down? Macroeconomic forces, competition,
> Porter's five forces include three forces from 'horizontal competition' – the threat of substitute products or services, the threat of established rivals, and the threat of new entrants – and two others from 'vertical' competition – the bargaining power of suppliers and the bargaining power of customers.
> Porter developed his five forces framework in reaction to the then-popular SWOT analysis, which he found both lacking in rigor and ad hoc.[3] Porter's five-forces framework is based on the structure–conduct–performance paradigm in industrial organizational economics. Other Porter's strategy tools include the value chain and generic competitive strategies.
Are there upsells now, later; planned opportunities to produce additional value for the longer term customer relationship?
When and how will you lower the price in response to competition and costs?
How does a pricing strategy vary if at all if a firm is Bootstrapping vs the Bank's money?
Cash flow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_flow :
> A cash flow CF is determined by its time t, nominal amount N, currency CCY, and account A; symbolically, CF = CF(t, N, CCY, A)
Though CF(A, t, ...) or CF(t, A) may be more search-index optimal, and really A_src_n, A_dest_n [...] ILP Interledger Protocol.
Payment fees are part of the price, unless you're a charity with a donate processing costs too option.
OTOH, though there are already standard departmental accounting chart names:
