Research notes

This was the one product in the batch not directly returned by initial web search results for its own name — it was located via the site's /collections/all listing page, which confirmed the exact product URL. No USD price was found for this product in web search results, so no cross-source price contradiction could be checked for it (unlike the other four products in this batch).
