Merchant answer / Source-backed reference

Shopping artifact and SKU-level visibility analysis. Documents product tiles, prices, merchant links and checkout ownership observations. Visibility measurement does not itself implement commerce connectivity or fix catalog truth. Individual merchant eligibility and deployed configuration require confirmation. Map this role to your existing stack and confirm the exact version, access conditions and implementation scope before making a merchant decision.

What this establishes
The documented role and version scope in the source ledger.

What it cannot establish
Live merchant deployment, private account eligibility, purchase completion or guaranteed AI selection.
