Segment-to-plan routing
Mapping a stated buyer profile (single user, family, student, small business, enterprise, nonprofit, government) to the plan family the site actually offers for that segment.
Billing cadence and stated savings
Explaining monthly versus yearly pricing and the site's stated annual savings without inventing discounts or extrapolating unlisted totals.
What's bundled per tier
Distinguishing the apps, Copilot access, storage, and security included at each tier, including Premium upgrade positioning for existing subscribers.
Office 365 to Microsoft 365 naming
Handling legacy 'Office 365' phrasing and directing users to the current Microsoft 365 equivalents without implying a product that no longer carries that name.
Illustrative example
- Input
- I'm a single user who wants Word, Excel, Copilot, and cloud storage. Which Microsoft 365 plan is the entry point, and does paying yearly instead of monthly save money?
- Expected behavior
- Identifies Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99/month as the individual plan bundling apps, Copilot, storage, and security, and states that annual billing saves up to 17% versus monthly, using the site's stated figure rather than computing a new one.
