Research question
Which product facts survive from the catalog to public evidence?
Proposed method
Inspect stable identity, Product/Offer fields, variant relationships and policy links within the pilot’s bounded sample. Retain a denominator for each check and record static-rendering limitations.
What this cannot establish
Field presence is not field accuracy. Sampled pages do not establish full-catalog health, channel acceptance or causal impact on discovery.
Publication gate — Research HOLD
Validate source scope, check unresolved conflicts, document the sample and review conclusions against the underlying observations. A finding may be published only at the level its evidence supports. Incomplete studies remain drafts, noindex and outside the production sitemap.
