What this engagement delivers
The Monetization Audit identifies the gaps and models the revenue delta. The Infrastructure Sprint closes those gaps. In 4 weeks, your core monetization architecture is rebuilt to spec: the store layout, pricing ladder, first-purchase flow, and event offer structure are all redesigned from findings.
The output is not a report. It is a set of implementation briefs: annotated wireframes, copy specs, experiment hypotheses, and a web monetization blueprint. Your engineering and art team builds to these specs. The sprint ends when the briefs are delivered and reviewed with your team, not when they are built.
The 4 experiment specs delivered at the end of the sprint are the foundation for ongoing improvement. Studios that move to the Fractional retainer after the sprint start Month 1 with a pre-built backlog and first test ready to launch.
4-week sprint structure
Each week has a defined focus area, deliverable, and handoff to your team. The sprint is designed to minimize time in meetings and maximize time building specifications.
Architecture diagnosis + sprint briefing
Deep review of Audit findings with your engineering and product leads. Confirm implementation priority order. Define success metrics for each change. Establish build scope: what ships in sprint vs. queued for next cycle. Kickoff briefing delivered end of week.
Paywall system + pricing ladder
Redesign the in-game store layout and pricing architecture. Reposition SKUs using anchor pricing principles. Rebuild the bundle ladder with named offers, strategic mid-tier, and premium ceiling. Deliver annotated wireframes and copy spec to your art and engineering team.
First-purchase sequencing + bundle architecture
Design the dedicated first-purchase offer: urgency mechanics, offer window timing, and conversion copy. Rebuild time-limited bundle structure for LiveOps events. Deliver implementation spec for the first-payer flow and event offer templates.
Experiment engine + web monetization blueprint
4 dev-ready experiment specifications: each with hypothesis, success metric, minimum detectable effect, required sample size, implementation notes, and priority rank. Web monetization strategy blueprint: recommended platform, player routing approach, SKU parity analysis, and fee recapture estimate.
Full deliverables list
- In-game store layout redesign (annotated wireframes + implementation notes)
- Pricing architecture rebuild (anchor SKU, mid-tier, named bundles)
- First-purchase offer design (timing, copy, urgency mechanics)
- Event bundle templates (3 LiveOps event tiers)
- 4 experiment specifications (dev-ready, with hypothesis, metric, and build notes)
- KPI framework (ARPPU, payer conversion, first-purchase day, ATVs by segment)
- Web monetization strategy blueprint (platform recommendation + fee recapture model)
- Sprint retrospective: what was built, what was deferred, and why
What this is not
LootRate delivers specifications and architecture decisions. Your team executes. This is not a dev agency engagement.
- —Engineering implementation — your team builds to spec
- —Art production or UI design asset creation
- —App store creative or paid UA
- —Backend economy rebalancing or live data pipeline work
- —Ongoing experiment management after sprint delivery
◆ Prerequisite
The Infrastructure Sprint requires a completed Monetization Audit. The audit scorecard, revenue delta model, and experiment roadmap are the architecture brief the sprint executes against. Without an audit, the sprint has no anchor.
First-time clients begin with the Monetization Audit ($7,500 · 10 business days). The Sprint follows immediately after. Total time from first call to Sprint completion: approximately 7–8 weeks.
◆ Start the conversation
$20,000 flat · 4 weeks
Starts with a free 30-min teardown call. No commitment until the Audit is complete.
