Draft
Methodology
How Junire represents products, offers, costs, and history.
Version: 0.1-draft · Last updated:
Draft requiring owner and legal review before launch.
Products and offers
A canonical product is separate from each merchant offer. A variant identifies a purchasable configuration; each offer connects that variant to a merchant.
Merchant and source coverage may be incomplete. Junire does not claim to compare every store or the whole internet.
Prices and costs
Product price, shipping, and mandatory fees are shown separately. A total is shown only when all required components are known.
Unknown shipping is never treated as free. Zero means free; a missing value means unknown.
Observations
Prices and availability are timestamped observations. Freshness identifies when data was observed; history preserves earlier observations and does not guarantee a merchant's current price.
Search and planned work
Initial search uses deterministic, explainable matching over names, variants, brands, and identifiers.
Future forecasts will appear only when statistically supported; otherwise Junire will show an insufficient-data state instead of fabricating a prediction. Purchase intent is also planned and is not active.
