An evidence-first workflow for price and stock changes
A detected price or availability change is an observation—not a decision. Before a team acts on it, the record should preserve the source page, the earlier state, the later state, and any warnings from the collection run.
That distinction matters when a marketplace, supplier, or public catalogue changes formatting, availability text, or product variation structure. A workflow that simply forwards an alert can hide the very context a reviewer needs.
A bounded approach is:
- Collect supported public-page observations.
- Retain the source context and normalized change record.
- Export only the selected records to the team’s existing review flow.
- Compare later snapshots when schema or content drift needs investigation.
This does not replace inventory synchronization, seller-account access, authorization, or human approval. It provides another inspectable input for a team’s process.

The goal is not automatic repricing. It is an accountable record that helps an operator decide what to check next.
