The problem
Price book gaps that only show up when a quote fails
Reps cannot quote a product cleanly when its price book entry is missing, inactive or set to zero. These problems hide until a quote fails, and checking every active product against a price book by hand is a job nobody gets round to.
Without PopdockAI
- Export active products and price book entries
- Match them up in a spreadsheet
- Look for zero prices and inactive entries by eye
- Find the gap when a rep cannot quote
With PopdockAI
- Active products and the book's entries are read for you
- Missing, inactive, retired and zero priced entries are flagged
- Prices far from standard are flagged on other books
- Read only, with a count and table per issue

**Objective:** Find products that cannot be sold cleanly because of price book problems, in price book `{price-book-name}` (default: the standard price book).
**Step 1: Resolve the price book**
Call `salesforce-get-price-book`. When `{price-book-name}` is given, filter by `name`; otherwise use `is-standard` true. If more than one matches, list them and stop.
**Step 2: Compare**
* `salesforce-get-product` with `active` true and `max-records` 1000.
* `salesforce-get-price-book-entry` with `price-book-id` and `max-records` 1000.
Flag:
* active products with no entry in the price book
* entries that are inactive while the product is active
* entries for inactive products that are still active
* entries with a list price of zero
* when auditing a non-standard book, entries that do not use the standard price and differ from it by more than 25 percent (read the standard book's entries with `salesforce-get-price-book-entry` filtered by the standard `price-book-id`)
**Step 3: Report**
A count per flag, then one table per flag (product code, product name, family, list price).
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Do not call any write tool: `salesforce-add-account`, `salesforce-add-contact`, `salesforce-add-lead`, `salesforce-add-opportunity`, `salesforce-add-case`, `salesforce-add-task`, `salesforce-add-asset`, `salesforce-add-campaign`, `salesforce-update-account`, `salesforce-update-contact`, `salesforce-update-lead`, `salesforce-update-opportunity`, `salesforce-update-case`, `salesforce-update-task` or `salesforce-update-asset`.
**Validation:**
* If the price book has no entries, say so and stop.Who it's for
