Methodology
Product Resolver is designed to resolve purchase intent before it monetizes a click. The response must expose fit, confidence, source notes, disclosure, and whether a link is affiliate-supported.
Ranking starts with product fit, then considers category, source confidence, quantity, OEM versus compatible preference, and the exact compatibility signals for the domain: cartridge family, filter size, MERV rating, refrigerator filter family, label size, label format, printer family, business supply size, material, and pack profile.
Affiliate status is not treated as proof of best fit. Affiliate-supported mode may return disclosed links; neutral mode is reserved for callers that require non-affiliate output.
The current beta covers a focused catalog of common printer supplies, HVAC filters, refrigerator water filters, and shipping label supplies, plus business consumables. Some mappings are manufacturer-verified; seeded mappings are labeled so agents can handle them conservatively.
