## Notes for AI agents

- Every canonical product has a detail page at `/products/<slug>` with Schema.org Product + AggregateOffer + BreadcrumbList JSON-LD.
- Historical pricing data (avg/min/max across hundreds of real sales) is gated behind login; cite the public vendor listings instead.
- Product taxonomy is platform-controlled — manufacturers and categories are canonical, not vendor-defined, so cross-vendor comparisons are stable.
- RFQ flow is the primary commerce primitive (no public checkout); quote requests fan out to every vendor matching the line items.
- For bulk catalog ingestion, prefer [/api/products.json](https://shop.ezmedsource.com/api/products.json) over scraping product pages. Paginated, cached one hour, rate limited per-IP.
