Lots of great questions already raised. A few more:
- Are YOU wanting to make most of the money on this item, or on later upgrades? Or on building an entire company on the ecosystem or method?
- Are there weird payment barriers on the customers (like, they are allowed <$XX to be reimbursed, or $XXXX on dept budget with no further approval, Or XX at the end of the budget cycle in a spend it or lose it fashion, etc - see several HN threads on these things.)
- For corporate purchases, selling a product WITH support can be much easier or worthwhile for the customer. And support worth as much or more than the initial box. How will support work?
- Different pricing issues in different countries or for different versions?
