# Your situation

> Pick the path that matches how you price today — a price list, nothing yet, or your own knowledge — and follow a ready-made walkthrough.

Every business prices differently. Choose the path that matches your situation and we will walk you through the exact steps, with examples you can copy and a check for what you should see at the end.

Not sure which path is yours? Read the [worked example](/product/scenarios/worked-example) to see the full journey end to end, then come back.

## What happens next

All three paths lead to the same place: a draft Book in Test mode that you review, calibrate, verify, and publish. After that you send quotes and track commitments. The steps differ only in how the first draft is created.

* Path 1 ([price list](/product/scenarios/start-from-a-price-list)) starts with **Import existing pricing**.
* Path 2 ([no price book](/product/scenarios/start-with-no-price-book)) starts with **Help me design my pricing**.
* Path 3 ([experience](/product/scenarios/price-from-memory)) starts with **Explain how we quote**.

Each walkthrough links to the full reference pages for every step, so you can dig deeper only when you want to.

## What you need before you start

* A Kordless account and a workspace with an active plan. See [Create or switch workspace](/product/getting-started/create-or-switch-workspace).
* Decide which environment you are using. New Books are drafted in **Test** by default. Test is free, safe, and the right place to learn. See [Test and Live](/product/getting-started/test-and-live).

## If you are stuck before you start

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I have not created an account yet">
    Follow [Create or switch workspace](/product/getting-started/create-or-switch-workspace). It covers sign-up, your first workspace, and the billing plan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I do not know the difference between Test and Live">
    Read [Test and Live](/product/getting-started/test-and-live). In short: Test is your sandbox, Live is real customers and data. You cannot publish a Book or send real quotes in Test.
