The problem
Pricing mistakes hide in a catalog too long to check by eye
Spot-checking BigCommerce prices by eye lets a zero price, a negative margin or a sale price above the regular price sit unnoticed among thousands of rows. Variants carry their own prices, so a product that looks fine can still hide a bad one.
Without PopdockAI
- Scroll the product export looking for odd prices
- Work out margins from cost by hand
- Open variants one product at a time
- Miss the bad price that sits on row 2,000
With PopdockAI
- Fixed pricing rules run across every product read
- Variants of up to 20 flagged products are checked too
- Results are sorted by severity with the figures behind each flag
- Nothing is edited, so you decide every price change

**Objective:** Audit product pricing for problems, limited to brand `{brand-name}` or to products priced at or above `{min-price}` if given.
**Step 1: Pull products**
Call `bigcommerce-get-product` (with `brand-id` after resolving `{brand-name}` via `bigcommerce-get-brand`, and `price.min` if given). Read `price`, `sale-price`, `retail-price`, `cost-price` and `calculated-price`.
**Step 2: Check each product**
Flag when:
* `price` is zero or empty.
* `sale-price` is above `price`.
* `cost-price` is above the selling price (negative margin).
* `retail-price` is below `price`.
* Margin ((price - cost-price) / price) is under 10 percent while `cost-price` is set.
**Step 3: Check variants for flagged products**
For up to 20 flagged products, call `bigcommerce-get-product-variant` with `product-id` and look for variants whose own `price` or `sale-price` causes the same issue.
**Step 4: Report**
Table: product id, name, sku, issue, the figures. Sort by severity (negative margin, then zero price, then the rest). End with a count per issue type.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This is a read-only job. Never call any `bigcommerce-*-add`, `bigcommerce-*-update` or `bigcommerce-*-delete` tool. Do not suggest that you changed anything.
* Recommend corrections only; do not change any price.
**Validation:**
* If a read returns no records, say so plainly and stop; do not invent figures.
* If a result hits the maximum records limit, say the figures may be incomplete and name the filter that would narrow it.Who it's for
