How Pricing Research Works

Individual listings and observed history

Ask the Reach Agent for comparable product listings, their observed prices, or the tracked history of one product. The Pricing Research Agent returns individual product evidence. It does not calculate cluster medians, averages, price ranges, or a verdict that your price is above or below the market.

Inspect product differences before drawing your own conclusion: materials, pack sizes, included items, variant, brand, and your own costs can all matter. An observed listing price does not show units sold or a competitor’s margin.

Store Checker answers a different question

Store Checker finds listings sharing your title words. Its low, median, and high values summarize recorded variant prices across a bounded sample of matching listings. The result gives the number of listings priced. This lexical sample is not a semantic-cluster benchmark and may include products that are not suitable comparables.

Read the Store Checker method for search limits, currency conventions, variants, observation dates, and own-store exclusion.

Reports are a separate output

The intelligence reports organize catalog and market evidence into longer briefs. Consult each report’s own description, fields, and caveats. A report’s metrics should not be assumed to be available from the Pricing Research Agent or Store Checker.

Reading freshness and missing history

Prices reflect observations in the dataset, not guaranteed current quotes. The date a result was retrieved is different from the date a listing was observed. Check the actual event dates and verify a listing’s current price and currency at the source before acting.

Available price history can extend back to February 2024, but coverage varies by product. No tracked history means no series is available; it does not mean the price never changed.
