Someone described their business in a sentence. This is what came back — specific moves, priced per month, with the sums written out and the published study each one rests on.
What we took you to be
real-time market data feeds and API calls for algo traders — for quant funds, prop desks, and active algo traders.
Your numbers as we read them: Base $300/mo feed plan assumed from prior context; 1,000 API calls/mo avg per client at $0.02/call = $20/mo usage; 50 clients → ~$15k/mo revenue. Cloud egress and GPU compute assumed at ~30% margin, so ~$4.5k/mo gross profit before support overhead.
Wrong about something? Add the correction to your description and run it again — the estimates move with it.

Charge $199/mo for the regime-aware volatility feed
≈ $995–1,990/mo5–10 clients taking the add-on × $199/mo
Why now: Regime-Gated Mixture model is now built and used internally; traders explicitly ask for it, so naming it as a line item captures willingness to pay.
Split the existing volatility feed into core and regime-aware layers. Keep core in the $300/mo base; sell regime-aware as a $199/mo add-on requiring the base feed. Use precise pricing ($199.00) to anchor against the $300 base and avoid round-number perception.
Do this first
Check your internal usage logs for the last 30 days: count how many unique clients pulled regime-flag fields more than 5 days/mo.
The study behind it
A precise opening figure ($4,988) draws counter-offers that stay closer to it than a round one ($5,000) does — people adjust less from a number that looks considered.
Sell $500 flat-fee microstructure audit reports to 2 clients/mo
≈ $500–1,000/mo1–2 reports/mo × $500 (assumes 2 hrs analyst time at $250/hr opportunity cost)
Why now: You already produce the Regime-Gated Mixture research; packaging it as a one-off audit turns sunk cost into revenue without altering subscription margins.
Create a $500/monthly report: 10 pages of annotated tick data, regime-shift flags, and liquidity heatmaps for one small-cap ticker chosen by the client. Deliver via PDF within 5 business days. Target prop desks that run monthly strategy reviews.

Pull your last three microstructure notes and time how long each took to write; compare to a $500 price point.

Cut 4 hrs/wk support by publishing a 'small-cap data quirks' FAQ
Why now: Repeated queries about bid-ask spikes in illiquid stocks show a stable set of 8–10 recurring issues that can be pre-answered.
Write a public FAQ page titled 'Small-Cap Data Quirks for Algo Traders' covering: 1) opening auction volatility, 2) stale last prices, 3) odd-lot fills, 4) circuit breaker halts, 5) missing depth levels. Link it from the support email signature and the API docs portal.

Export your support ticket tags from the last 60 days and sort by frequency; isolate the top 5 small-cap related.
The study behind it
Adding one line to late-payment letters — that nine in ten people pay their tax on time — raised payment rates by about five percentage points within 23 days.
There were 7 more. And the letter that collects on them.
The full audit is ten moves, not 3, ordered into a 90-day sequence so you know what to do first — plus the two things that turn a decision into money actually collected.
