Worked Example
Acme sells SKU-123, a phone priced at EUR 199.00. The host syncs the product and creates an Italian daily target.
=== Step 1: Catalog
external_id=SKU-123, GTIN, brand, model, categories, and current price are stored.
=== Step 2: Discovery
Geo-aware search queries find Amazon, eBay, Trovaprezzi, and a generic competitor URL.
=== Step 3: Matching
GTIN confirms one result at 100. A normalized-name candidate scores 73 and enters review.
=== Step 4: Scraping
The confirmed URL produces price, stock, seller, shipping, JSON-LD, OpenGraph, and fetch audit data.
=== Step 5: Signals
A competitor price drop to EUR 189.90 emits price.dropped and undercut.detected.
=== Step 6: Host action
The host receives the signed webhook and asks its pricing engine to reevaluate margin policy.
The package cannot know the host’s real acquisition cost, stock strategy, or MAP obligations unless the host supplies that policy to downstream pricing logic.
