What goes into a useful shopping comparison
Product facts
Current official product information can support specifications, formulation, package size, serving instructions, warranty and other product identity fields.
Price and availability
Merchant pages can support current price and availability, but those facts change quickly. When used, they should be checked close to publication and tied to the relevant seller and market.
Value
Value includes more than the headline price. Recurring charges, shipping, replacement parts, consumables, warranty, subscription terms and expected use can all change the real cost.
Health-related products
For health, dental, weight-loss and some fitness or beauty products, product claims and independent evidence are separate questions. Shopping guidance should not diagnose, prescribe or guarantee results.
Deal claims
Discounts, scarcity and promotional terms should not be invented. A deal page should reflect a current, verifiable offer and should be updated or removed when the offer changes materially.
