How it works
You share the policy. We check the dealers. You decide.
A managed service for aftermarket parts brands: we set up the part numbers and dealer listings with you, record advertised prices on an agreed schedule, review every potential exception by hand, and email you the evidence each week.
§ 01
What you supply
Only what we need to compare like with like. Policy documents are exchanged securely after we’ve both agreed it’s a fit — never through the public form.
- MAP policy
- Your current written policy, including its effective date and any exceptions (bundles, coupons, shipping, dates).
- MAP price sheet
- The current authoritative sheet: brand, exact MPN, variant, MAP price, effective date. CSV or XLSX is fine.
- Priority parts
- The part numbers that matter most — typically a few dozen to start, not your whole catalogue.
- Dealers
- The independent online dealers you want watched. We confirm each one is practical to check before it goes in scope.
- A decision owner
- One person who owns MAP for your brand and can answer policy questions.
§ 02
What we do
- 01Load your price sheet as a dated policy version. Old MAP prices are never overwritten, so past findings always point at the price that applied at the time.
- 02Match each part to exact dealer listings and record how confident the match is. Fuzzy or unverified matches are never compared. Why matching matters
- 03Run a baseline check and walk you through ambiguous matches before monitoring starts.
- 04Record advertised prices on the agreed schedule, with a timestamp and evidence for every observation — and a recorded reason for every check that fails.
- 05Review every potential exception by hand before it reaches you.
- 06Send your weekly report by email. No dashboard to log in to.
§ 03
Evidence standard
We call a price below your MAP reference a potential below-MAP observation. Whether it breaches your policy depends on your policy’s terms and exceptions — so it’s your call, and we don’t describe anything as a violation.
- Callout 1: Advertised price as displayed on the product page — not a cart or checkout price
- Callout 2: Part number matched to your current price sheet, checked by a person
- Callout 3: MAP reference with its policy version and effective date
- Callout 4: Capture time, with a screenshot and page link kept for the report
- Checked, at or above MAP
- Potential below-MAP observation
- Needs policy clarification
- Not checked — reason reported
§ 04
Your weekly report
Useful even in a week with zero exceptions: you see what was checked, what succeeded and what couldn’t be checked. See a sample report.
- Scope
- Which parts, dealers and exact listings were in scope.
- Check success
- What share of scheduled checks completed.
- New observations
- Potential below-MAP observations, with links, timestamps and evidence.
- Changes
- What was resolved, dismissed or unchanged since the last report.
- Questions
- Results that need your policy clarification.
- Not checked
- Which sources couldn’t be checked, and why.
§ 05 · Trust and limits
How we handle your data and your dealers
- Your data
- Your policy and price sheet are used only for your monitoring. They are never shown to other manufacturers or used in anyone else’s reports, and never published at a public URL.
- Quality gate
- A person reviews every potential exception before it is reported. Uncertain results are labelled as uncertain.
- Coverage gaps
- If a site blocks access, changes layout or fails to load, we report it as not checked. We never send a clean result for a check that didn’t happen.
- Site access
- We respect site rules and rate limits. We don’t bypass logins, CAPTCHAs or access restrictions.
- Not included
- Contacting or penalizing dealers, legal determinations, real-time alerts, whole-internet or full marketplace coverage.
