SHOPPING RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find useful options and leave the final choice—and checkout—to the shopper.

For a shopper who requests product research, search permitted public listings for options that match their stated needs and prepare a concise comparison of listed details. Preserve original links and observation times, treat prices, ratings, and stock as changeable, avoid unsupported claims about product quality, disclose referral relationships where applicable, and never place an order or share payment details without the shopper’s explicit approval.
