P2 INCIDENT REPORT: RETAIL DATA INTEGRITY & DYNAMIC PRICING FAILURE
SUMMARY: Systematic failure to retrieve and validate real-time pricing and availability on Amazon.nl. The model repeatedly prioritized cached/stale metadata over active page elements, resulting in a 28% price discrepancy and recommendations for non-available (OOS) products.

  1. DATA DISCREPANCY LOG
    Target Entity: Vitafit Digital Scale (ASIN: B0936D7DJ5)
    Model Reported Price: €8.99 (Standard MSRP)
    Actual Live Price: €6.99 (Limited Time Deal/Voucher)
    Error Margin: 28.6% Overestimation.
  2. MULTI-STEP VALIDATION FAILURE
    Step 1 (Search): Model retrieved "JOPHEK" and "Brifit" brands as cheapest options.
    Step 2 (Verification): Both products were "Currently Unavailable," yet the model presented them as viable links.
    Step 3 (Correction): Despite three direct user corrections regarding the price and availability, the model failed to re-parse the DOM (Document Object Model) and stayed anchored to the incorrect €8.99 data point.
  3. TECHNICAL ROOT CAUSE: "SNIPPET ANCHORING"
    The model suffers from RAG-stagnation. It extracts data from the search result "snippet" rather than performing a deep-link verification. This makes the model unreliable for volatile markets (e.g., Amazon, Travel, Stocks).
    ACTION REQUIRED:
    Improve Live-State Detection: Force a "Stock Status" check before generating product links.
    Implement Dynamic Element Parsing: Ensure "Vouchers" and "Limited Time Deals" are prioritized over the base MSRP in the pricing output.
