What pulls against what
- term transparency vs. browsing momentum
- brand control vs. retailer clarity
- raw clicks vs. qualified exploration
What is at stake
A small clarity gap is causing retailers to leave before seeing relevant products. Better evaluation can preserve discovery without weakening wholesale terms
