HomeService / Game economy consulting

Game economy analysis for decisions that cannot wait.

Independent support for live and pre-launch teams dealing with progression, pricing, monetization, LiveOps, or configuration risk.

Discuss an economy problem

The system is working, but the team cannot see its full behavior.

The useful starting point is usually a specific decision, not an open-ended redesign.

01A progression wall is suspected.

Player behavior points to friction, but the size, cause, and safest intervention are unclear.

02Sources and sinks have drifted.

A live economy has accumulated exceptions, inflation, or resource pressure that dashboards do not fully explain.

03A launch decision needs evidence.

The economy, offer structure, or progression model needs a defensible check before implementation becomes expensive.

04The configuration is hard to reason about.

Years of hand-tuned tables need to become a traceable model the team can safely change.

Analysis through implementation

A practical model of how the economy behaves.

I work from configuration, telemetry, product context, and team assumptions. The output is a clear diagnosis, tested scenarios, implementation priorities, and tools that remain useful after handoff.

01

Economy audit

Map currencies, sources, sinks, exchange paths, stockpiles, inflation pressure, and structural risk.

Live / Pre-launch
02

Progression balancing

Model pacing, total cost, time gates, reward budgets, difficulty curves, and meaningful player choice.

Model / Scenarios
03

Pricing & monetization

Connect perceived value, price architecture, offer cadence, conversion behavior, and long-term economy health.

Value / Revenue
04

LiveOps analysis

Evaluate event structures, reward distribution, calendars, stores, and the interaction between content and economy.

Do you need clean data before starting?

No. Part of the work is determining what can be trusted, reconciling configuration with telemetry, and making uncertainty explicit.

Can the work begin before launch?

Yes. Configuration, progression assumptions, benchmark data, and simulation can reveal important risks before live behavioral data exists.

Can you work inside an existing design team?

Yes. Engagements can be a focused diagnostic, a defined audit and rebalance sprint, or fractional support within the product cadence.

Start with the economy decision that feels least clear.

A short qualification form establishes the product stage, available evidence, timeline, and decision owner.
