From a value-based pricing standpoint:
1. What is the reference value that McDermott should consider when pricing IC-75?
2. What is the differentiation value offered by IC-75 relative the competitor's offering for each 4,320 hours of usage?
3. What is IC-75's economic value to the customer over its 4,320-hour life?
