# TIP Price / Source Verification Closure

Date: 2026-05-09 23:38 UTC

## Scope

Continued TIP verification work with deterministic crawlers/verifiers only. No external AI was used. Erik was kept to one focused run at a time.

## Changes

- SFPcables now persists `product_page_url`.
- SFPcables now fetches product pages for missing listing prices.
- Added `verify:product-page-prices`.
- `upsertPriceObservation` now also writes `price_status='public_price'`.
- Coherent/ZR/DCO/tunable optics get a higher anomaly ceiling so real high-end prices are not rejected.
- ShopFiber24 parser now uses the first main product `itemprop=price`, not related-product `minPrice`.
- ShopFiber24/Vcelink quarantine rules were expanded for remaining artifacts.
- 10Gtek rows absent from the public SFPcables retail catalog are resolved as `price_status=no_public_price`, not `price_verified`.

## Live Results

- SFPcables: `0` price gaps, `0` image gaps, `3` detail gaps after scraper + asset verifier.
- ShopFiber24: `0` price/image/detail gaps.
- ATGBICS: `3` coherent/ZR prices verified from Shopify product JSON.
- Vcelink: `2` numeric artifacts quarantined.
- Price research queue: `needs_research=0`.

## Health Snapshot

- active products: `17181`
- price verified: `11460`
- price status: `public_price=11460`, `no_public_price=5721`, `needs_research=0`, `ambiguous=0`
- image verified: `12125`
- details verified: `16920`
- fully verified: `10549`
- competitor status: `matched=10821`, `no_valid_match=74`, `ambiguous=556`, `needs_research=5730`

Follow-up official-page probing after the price closure moved image/details to:

- image verified: `12132`
- details verified: `16922`

Cisco yielded `7` official rendition images in a small controlled batch. Juniper product pages in the sampled batch did not expose useful product image URLs. Some Cisco pages return `403`.

## Remaining Work

The price queue is closed without fabricated prices. Remaining work is image/details/competitor verification, led by OEM/catalog rows such as Juniper, Cisco, 10Gtek, Nokia, Palo Alto and Arista.
