May 18, 2026 · From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from sbecouncil.org

What happened

The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council survey found that 65 percent of small businesses are using or planning to implement AI pricing tools. Among users, 97 percent reported positive revenue impacts from better price optimization, and 94 percent noted operational improvements.

Why it matters

This survey evidence shows pricing optimization AI can directly affect top-line revenue rather than just reducing costs. Readers should evaluate whether their current pricing strategy relies on static rules or dynamic AI-driven analysis. The high adoption intent signals that competitors may soon use these tools.
