Build a pricing API pilot.
Turn a software brief into a staging endpoint, source-backed records, and a test report.
Collect permitted public prices for 100 products across five sources. Build a versioned staging endpoint that returns source and observation time, then test stale data and error cases before considering production.
Five permitted sources with traceable price observations.
Illustrative reduction from 35 hours of updates to five hours of review.
Estimate: 30 hours × $100/hour less $500 added monthly cost; excludes the build.
- 01
Scope
Agree on permitted sources, product set, freshness, and what counts as done.
- 02
Approve
Review the agent plan, data terms, access, and itemized cost before work begins.
- 03
Review
Inspect the staging endpoint, linked observations, and test findings before acceptance.
Review one coherent pilot instead of coordinating data, implementation, and QA as separate projects.
Use the same product set to compare manual updates with review of the pilot API. The time and value figures below are planning estimates, not observed savings.
