A fixed compliance date is forcing a permanent order-price contract.
Price transparency requires complete provenance while checkout continuity protects household grocery access.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The total changed after I came back to my cart, and I need to know why.”
Chibueze Baffoe · Household grocery shopper
A shopper ordering household staples in a regulated city where price treatment must be consistent.
What is at stake
Current lineage cannot prove that every regulated order excludes prohibited price adjustments. You have to weigh uninterrupted checkout against a contract that remains auditable after launch.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- checkout continuity vs compliance certainty
- shared contract vs transaction-level restriction
- machine lineage vs verified traces
- ads measurement vs price isolation
