Why now

Every price is either defended or eroding.

Between list and net sits the gross-to-net pathway: discounts, rebates, contract concessions, reference-price cascades. Erosion hides there until the quarter closes. That pathway is where price optimization is won or lost, and Pricing AI finds erosion as it starts.

ceiling — value position floor — walk-away line your net price corridor breach found here, not after the quarter closes Q1 Q2 Q3
Corridor breaches
Floors, ceilings and exception logic that scale across markets, channels and segments — flagged the moment a price crosses them.
Abnormal discounting
Leakage drivers across the net-to-gross pathway, detected by account, channel or region as erosion starts.
Performance drift
The slow kind nobody sees quarter to quarter. Benchmarked against a consistent, auditable baseline.

One trusted view of market movement, anchored in traceable inputs — so every recommendation can be challenged, defended and reused.

Governance-ready by design. Human review gates, approval routing and evidence links aligned to your operating model. No tribal knowledge required.

The mechanism

Track. Frame. Simulate. Defend.

One continuous price optimization system, from raw market signal to a governed price. Each stage feeds the next; every output carries its evidence.

01.[ Track Module ]
Market Intelligence Engine

Consolidates market signals with your internal pricing reality to create a single, trusted view of movement. Track net price and ASP trends across regions, spot anomalies early, and benchmark change over time. Polaris keeps sources normalized, permissioned and continuously refreshed, so teams act on the same market truth.

Output: Single Market Truth
  • Average selling price movement by market and segment
  • Updates on pricing and reimbursement
  • Policy-change monitoring
  • Competitor tracking
  • Live net price updates
  • Competitor monitoring
  • Analyst-optimized pricing
  • Anomalies surfaced early
International reference pricing mapped market by market: which countries reference yours, on what basket, and on what lag — the input the IRP engine watches downstream.

02.[ Frame Module ]
Decisioning & Guardrails Engine

Set corridors and guardrails that scale across markets, channels and segments. Pricing AI defines floors, ceilings and exception logic, then anchors every recommendation in traceable inputs. Decisions are standardized, approvals are clearer, and field execution stays consistent without relying on tribal knowledge.

Output: Defensible Pricing Boundaries
Corridor & Guardrail Logic by Polaris OS
Corridors per market, channel and segment, kept current as market truth moves. Every boundary carries the rationale that set it.
When a price needs to cross a boundary, the exception is explicit: who can approve it, on what grounds, with what evidence attached.
Review gates aligned to your operating model. Approvals move faster because context, constraints and evidence travel with the request.

Scenario Modeling Engine — the Pricing Co-Pilot

Model contract scenarios before positions are locked. Pricing AI tests win probability, margin sensitivity and term impacts such as indexation, rebates and volume breaks. Assumptions stay visible, so stakeholders can challenge inputs, iterate quickly, and converge on a position that balances competitiveness with profitability.

Output: A position you can defend
Contract terms — indexation · rebates · volume breaks
Win-probability models
Pricing Co-Pilot by Polaris OS
Scenario-led optimization against market truth signals: how each price point moves your chance of winning, before the position is locked.
What each concession costs across the life of the contract, tested against floors and ceilings from the guardrail engine.
  • Indexation terms priced correctly at award
  • Rebate structures stress-tested
  • Volume-break economics made explicit
  • Assumptions visible and challengeable

Leakage & Performance Engine

Identify leakage drivers across the net-to-gross pathway and detect erosion as it starts, not after the quarter closes. Pricing AI flags corridor breaches, abnormal discounting and performance drift by account, channel or region — and IRP automation watches reference-price cascades before they land. Teams prioritize interventions with clarity and measure recovery against an auditable baseline.

Output: Governed, defended pricing
Leakage Detection & IRP Automation by Polaris OS
Breaches and abnormal discounting flagged by account, channel and region, with the evidence attached for the intervention conversation.
  • Breach and impact alerts
  • Cascade rule automation
  • Reference basket mapping
  • Cross-market impact before a price moves
Traceable rationale, human review gates and approval routing. Decisions carry context, constraints and evidence links, so they can be reused safely across markets.

FAQ

Price optimization is the discipline of setting, defending and adjusting prices so each deal balances competitiveness with margin. In MedTech and pharma it has to account for contracts, reimbursement rules, reference pricing between countries and the gap between list and net price. Pricing AI brings those signals together on Polaris and turns them into price recommendations with the evidence attached.

Gross-to-net leakage is the value lost between a product’s list price and the net price actually collected, through discounts, rebates, contract concessions and reference-price cascades. Pricing AI tracks the net-to-gross pathway by account, channel and region, and flags erosion as it starts rather than after the quarter closes.

International reference pricing (IRP) links a product’s price in one country to its price in others. Pricing AI maps which markets reference yours, on what basket and with what lag, then raises breach and impact alerts and automates cascade rules, so you can see the cross-market effect before a price moves.

Generic pricing tools are built for retail and B2B catalogs. Pricing AI is built for life-science markets: it understands contracts, reimbursement, IRP baskets and gross-to-net, and every recommendation is governance-ready, with traceable rationale, human review gates and approval routing aligned to your operating model.
