Editorial fit comes first
The product must already deserve a place in a shortlist before price enters the conversation.
Deal verification workflow
WATCH does not become LIVE by accident.
Every deal has to clear the same evidence gates before it can appear as a verified live offer. Missing evidence keeps the product in WATCH.
Five gates
The evidence bar.
Passing one or two checks is not enough. The record must be complete, current, and independently useful before the discount.
Current price needs evidence
A current observed price must be recorded with a source that can be checked again.
Reference price must be meaningful
We compare against a credible recent reference point instead of relying on an inflated strike-through price.
Freshness is mandatory
Every verification record gets a timestamp and an expiration time. Stale evidence cannot remain LIVE.
Promotion is rule-based
Only a complete record that beats the reference price and passes every gate can move from WATCH to LIVE.
Current review queue
What is blocking promotion?
Each WATCH item shows the exact evidence still required. Once every issue is resolved, the workflow can promote it to LIVE.

Audit rule
No evidence, no LIVE label.
A verified deal record must include current-price evidence, a reference-price source, timestamps, verifier identity, and confirmation that the product earned its recommendation independently of the sale.
