* Conditional is not universal. Werveo would not subtract Store D's member-only promotion unless the shopper's eligibility were known. Without confirmed eligibility, $161 does not become the default winning price.
Historical intelligence
Is today’s price actually good?
The intended engine compares the current verified price with multiple historical windows instead of trusting a retailer's reference price alone.

Advertised-discount reality check
Retailer reference discount ≠ historical market discount.
Suppose Store B advertises $179 as “22% off” a $229 reference price. Werveo would add context: after the verified $5 promotion, the $174 effective price is about 11% below the illustrative 90-day observed average of $196. Both statements can be true, but they answer different questions.
Evidence & confidence
What did Werveo know — and what did it not know?
Every important decision field keeps an information state and provenance so missing data is never silently treated as zero, free, or available.

Werveo decision
Three answers — because “cheapest” can mean three different things.
Lowest advertised price
$169 · Store A
Lowest sticker price, but material costs/terms remain unknown.
Lowest verified effective price
$170 · Marketplace C
Lowest verified net cost after shipping and verified coupon.
Best overall offer
$174 · Store B
Only $4 more than the lowest verified option, with faster delivery, retailer-direct fulfillment, stronger returns and manufacturer warranty.
Why Werveo would choose Store B
Store A wins on sticker price, but Werveo cannot verify its final cost or purchase protections. Marketplace C is $4 cheaper after verified shipping and coupon data, but Store B provides retailer-direct fulfillment, materially faster delivery, free 30-day returns and manufacturer warranty. For this fictional example, Werveo would recommend Store B while still showing both cheaper alternatives and explaining the trade-off.
Ranking stops here.
Only after Store B is selected for the shopper would Werveo look for the best valid affiliate route to Store B. Commission never changes the winning retailer.
