Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me monitor comparable market-price movements.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide named sources, comparable items, dated supplier updates and applicable official notices].
Compare like-for-like changes, record dates and provenance and identify which products need a follow-up decision.
Return a market change log and impact review list for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why verify the date and source of an external alert?
Old or unsupported information can trigger unnecessary sourcing changes.
Does a supplier delay affect every product equally?
No. Exposure depends on inventory cover, alternatives and the specific products supplied.
What information is needed to investigate this use case?
Start with named sources, comparable items, dated supplier updates and applicable official notices. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
