01 / INPUT**Observed offer + applicable policy**

03 / OUTPUT**A price observation for the policy owner**

## Keep the right fields.

Workflow field map

| Field / step | Input | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Advertised price | Source amount, currency and URL | Do not assume it equals the checkout price. |
| Identity | Seller, product and variant | Confirm the policy applies to the exact offer. |
| Decision | Policy version and authorized reviewer | Keep legal interpretation separate from extraction. |

## Before you use the output

The FTC notes that federal, state and international treatment of minimum-price rules can differ. Have the policy owner review applicable rules; datawebot does not determine violations or enforce policies.

## Check one record first.

Start with the smallest useful scope. Compare the returned record with its source, confirm variant identity and inspect missing fields before applying the mapping to a larger dataset.

Keep extraction warnings and the retrieval timestamp with downstream output. When a required field is missing, leave it unresolved or return to the source; do not fill it from an assumption.
