Merchant Stock Availability Drift Governance

A practical operating guide for preventing unavailable products, discontinued variants, and stale CTAs from staying live.

Operating workflow

  1. Inventory visible claims in hero, verdict, comparison table, FAQ, schema, internal links, and affiliate CTA modules.
  2. Classify each claim as evidence-backed, live-merchant verified, stale, contradicted, or missing source trail.
  3. Attach dated sources and owner decisions before keeping commercial language live.
  4. Use fallback copy when stock, variant, price, warranty, merchant terms, or evidence has drifted.
  5. Deploy only after local files, hub links, sitemap, preview URL, and production URL pass 200 checks.
