PRODUCT DISCOVERY · Workflow idea

Compare useful product options and check details before deciding.

For a shopper who requests product research, search permitted public listings for options that fit their stated needs and summarize available prices, ratings, and links. Keep the original listing visible, distinguish observed information from a recommendation, note that inventory and offers change, and never make a purchase or share a shopper’s private details without explicit approval.
