A useful comparison should let a shopper inspect where important facts came from. Maintained Australian Product Guide products therefore surface a primary source and a testing-status label rather than relying on an unexplained badge.
Evidence hierarchy
- Australian manufacturer product pages, manuals, support and warranty information.
- Australian retailer pages for exact variants, local availability and retailer-specific details.
- Independent professional testing or reviews where lawfully summarised and relevant.
- Consumer-feedback signals only where source, sample and limitations can be described.
Retailer evidence
A retailer listing can help establish a specific model, ASIN or variant, but temporary retailer copy should not override stronger manufacturer evidence for stable specifications.
Pricing and availability
Australian Product Guide does not currently maintain a broad real-time price feed. Where a price basis exists, it is context rather than a guarantee. Shoppers should confirm current price, seller, stock and delivery terms at the retailer.
Image provenance
The central imagery register records the source, product identifier, rights/delivery basis, verification date and current display status. Australian Product Guide does not scrape Amazon HTML or permanently copy Amazon-hosted product photography merely because it is accessible in a browser.
Amazon product content
Amazon's supported Associates product-data route is now Creators API. Australian Product Guide has prepared its retailer/media data model for exact product identifiers and authorised image URLs, but no Amazon product photograph is displayed until the account has eligible access, credentials are configured securely and the returned product identifier matches the verified Australian Product Guide product.
Broken or superseded evidence
If a source disappears, a product is discontinued or evidence materially conflicts, the affected record should be reviewed before it remains eligible for prominent recommendation.
