Determination for Community Pricing versus Pre-Publication?

Can anyone explain why some Mobile Ed courses are offered on CP, while others skip CP and go to Pre-Pub?

For example, Deuteronomy is doing remarkably well on CP (and could benefit from having its minimum bid lowered again), but Leviticus is on Pre-Pub.

I'm sure many of us would appreciate the opportunity to get Mobile Ed courses produced at a lower cost per user, and could afford/buy more courses if they came out on CP instead of Pre-Pub.

I understand that FL doesn't like to tell customers how the sausage is made, but when one 20-hour (Deuteronomy) course might be $70 on CP, but a 12-hour (Leviticus) course is $270 on Pre-Pub, I think everyone would choose to pay $70 for a book study rather than $270.

Mobile Ed is my most costly recurring expense. Often I can't afford other items, because of how much Mobile Ed Pre-Pub courses cost.

I am very thankful for Mobile Ed, and the opportunity it provides. The courses definitely are beneficial for our education, yet Pre-Pub courses are still expensive even at 40% off. Many of the readings aren't in Platinum or other libraries, so the true cost can be 2-3 times the price of the course itself.

Even if you prefer not to tell us why, can you please arrange more opportunities to initially get courses for 85-90% off, rather than 40% off?

Agreed! If production costs are always covered for CP offerings, aren't all post-CP sales simply financial frosting on the cake? It seems like a win-win situation. Faithlife gets up-front funding from its client base to enlarge its library offerings which generate additional income later on, and Logos customers get the best price possible for partnering with Faithlife which also leaves them funds for additional purchases.
