Abel Pricer

Two interactive simulators built on the same models behind Reading Abel. Kit Simulator uses a fitted model of 37 peer discovery/travel kits to suggest a market-fair price for any combination of vial count and vial size. Bottle Simulator uses the cohort's price-per-ml curve to suggest a market-fair price for any bottle size, anchored to Abel's existing 50ml.

01 Kit Simulator

Price a discovery or travel set

Adjust the number of vials and the size of each. The model returns the implied market-fair total price, drawing on 27 peer discovery kits (1.5–3ml vials) and 10 peer travel sets (5–25ml vials). Abel's current Discovery Set (3 vials × 6ml = $94) is shown for context.

02 Bottle Simulator

Price a new bottle size

Move the slider to size any new bottle. The model uses the cohort's fitted price-per-ml curve (b = −0.276) and anchors at Abel's existing 50ml. Abel's two actual bottles (6ml at $6.38/ml, 50ml at $3.83/ml) are shown on the curve for reference.
