01
Capture requirements
The buyer states price, memory and intended use.
Build a constraint set with currency, region, min RAM, price ceiling and preference criteria.
Illustrative output
Budget ≤ 1500 AUD; memory ≥ 16 GB
← All use cases 04 · PRODUCT DISCOVERY · PROPOSED WORKFLOW
Describe what matters. Compare trustworthy options.
Match needs with verifiable attributes and supported actions from participating providers.
Who this is for: Buyers, retailers, comparison services and independent publishers. Illustrative concept, not a deployed OSYNIA capability.
01 · START WITH THE PROBLEM
What problem are we trying to solve?
A buyer manually navigates many storefronts that describe products differently and change stock frequently.
A buyer manually navigates many storefronts that describe products differently and change stock frequently.
Relevant contracts: OSYNIA-D federated discovery, OSYNIA-R assertions, OSYNIA-C authorised purchases.
EXAMPLE USER REQUEST
“Find laptops below $1,500 with at least 16 GB RAM and suitable for software development.”
BEFORE · COMMON APPROACH
- The buyer repeats searches across different seller websites.
- Specifications and availability are compared manually.
- An AI assistant may infer missing attributes from inconsistent marketing text.
WITH OSYNIA · PROPOSED
- Participating sellers publish standard product attributes, sources and update times.
- A discovery client matches explicit constraints across those sources.
- The buyer inspects offers, freshness and evidence before choosing.
- Any purchase or reservation remains subject to an approved capability and buyer confirmation.
02 · STEP-BY-STEP USER JOURNEY
From request to a verifiable outcome.
Switch between General and Technical in the header to explore the same journey at two levels.
02
Discover participating providers
The system looks for providers that publish comparable product details.
Query federated indexes or registries under source/identity and freshness policies.
Illustrative output
Candidate catalogues discovered
03
Compare source-backed attributes
Products are compared by confirmed specifications, with unknown fields clearly marked.
Normalize typed product records and evaluate filters without fabricating missing specifications.
Illustrative output
Shortlist with evidence and timestamps
04
Check current availability
The buyer can inspect whether offers are still current.
Refresh volatile offer data with publisher endpoints and report freshness bounds.
Illustrative output
Price and stock last-checked indicators
05
Choose and confirm
The buyer chooses the seller. Nothing is bought automatically.
Require consent before invoking any seller-provided state-changing capability.
Illustrative output
Buyer-controlled hand-off or authorised transaction
03 · RESPONSE & OUTCOME
What would the person see?
ILLUSTRATIVE SYSTEM RESPONSE
“Here are participating products matching your stated requirements. Review price, availability and source details before choosing a seller.”
ILLUSTRATIVE COMPLETION
Example completion: a verified shortlist is displayed; no purchase occurs without approval.
A proposed success message must be backed by actual execution and verification in a real implementation.
04 · UNDER THE HOOD
How the proposed technology fits together.
This example depends on information that explains what it is, trusted links to other information, and clearly described operations when an action is needed.
What must be in place:
- A useful result depends on participating publishers or independent verification.
- Prices, stocks and offers must have freshness metadata.
- Seller claims must not be treated as inherently trustworthy.
Proposed system sequence
- Constraint parsing
- Registry discovery
- Typed filtering
- Evidence and freshness check
- User selection
- Optional authorised action
Security and governance controls
- Source verification
- Spam and ranking controls
- Currency and unit normalization
- Explicit purchase approval

05 · REAL-WORLD VALIDATION
How would we know it works?
These are proposed measures, not published results.
Comparison accuracy
Fraction of displayed matches satisfying verified constraints
Freshness
Age of offer data at display time
Discovery coverage
Relevant participating vendors and verified product coverage
Requirements for adoption
- A useful result depends on participating publishers or independent verification.
- Prices, stocks and offers must have freshness metadata.
- Seller claims must not be treated as inherently trustworthy.
Limits and trade-offs
- The model cannot cover vendors that do not participate unless other discovery methods are used.
- Comparison quality depends on accurate product attributes.
- This is not a live shopping search or currently deployed marketplace.
