About ShelfScout

ShelfScout is building Wednesday Watchlist for Australian shoppers. It compares supermarket prices before and after the weekly changeover, then ranks products whose shelf tickets may not yet reflect a higher checkout price.

The first goal is validation, not hype. A focused MVP will rank a small set of sharp overnight price rises, check those shelves in person and measure whether they produce more stale tickets than random products.

Price-data access, retailer terms, scanning-policy changes and faster ticket replacement could all limit the idea. ShelfScout will treat watchlists as predictions and report outcomes honestly; it will never promise that a product is free or that a retailer must provide a particular remedy.
