Abstract
A method to estimate demand of a market for a service is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of feasible service offerings to offer for sale to the market from a set of candidate service offerings, observing a response of the market to the set of feasible service offerings offered for sale, and estimating a demand of the market for the service based upon the observed response. Each service offering of the set of feasible service offerings and the set of candidate service offerings is defined by a price and a service level.
