I just re-read your post. You talk about “optimizing production”. To do that, you need to measure the value of your production process. How exactly do you measure that without putting a value on the production outputs? More specifically, how do you do that without knowing each person’s individual demand curve (how much of a product they would purchase over a range of prices)?

I couldn’t explain mine to save my life, not even for a single product. I don’t think you could even capture an accurate aggregate demand curve for any one product — that’s what millions of marketers and product managers try to do every day. You’re talking about trying to capture it for every product. And if you’re just going to estimate, what makes you think you’re going to estimate any more accurately than those millions of highly motivated individuals?
