Set positioning guardrails

Keep every suggestion inside your rules with a margin floor, a positioning band, and a discount ceiling you control.

What you get

• A safety net MarginTide can't suggest past, no matter how a competitor moves.
• A positioning band that keeps you within a percentage range of a named competitor's price, tier for tier.
• A hard ceiling on discounting, checked before every recommendation reaches the Action Center.

Setting your guardrails

Under Settings → Pricing guardrails you define the rules MarginTide must respect when it suggests a price change for an offering:

• Margin floor % — an absolute safety net across every offering and tier. Leave it blank for no constraint.
• Floor price — enable it to honor the per-offering floor price set on each plan in Plan catalog; MarginTide never suggests a price below it.
• Positioning band — keep your price within a percentage range above or below a named competitor's price, for the same tier and billing term. Pick the competitor and set a min % and max %.
• Discount ceiling % — the largest discount off list price MarginTide may ever recommend, regardless of positioning band or margin floor.

How they work together

Margin floor and floor price set the absolute limit; the positioning band sets where you sit relative to a competitor within that limit; the discount ceiling caps how far any single suggestion can move. Together they turn a competitor's price or entitlement change into a short list of decisions worth your time in the Action Center — every suggestion pre-checked against them.
