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.
