You swap the habit of updating when you remember for updating when the cost changes, the stock moves, or an item runs out.

This tutor isn't an automatic feature that keeps your catalog updated on its own, because that tool doesn't exist yet. It teaches the difference between updating because you remembered and updating because something happened: the product's cost changed, the stock moved, or an item ran out.

You come in with a real product from your catalog, and the tutor asks for today's listed price, the current replacement cost, what's listed about availability, and what's actually on the shelf. From your answers, it figures out whether the listed price has fallen behind cost, whether availability doesn't match real stock, whether an item has already run out but is still marked available, or whether the update simply depends on someone remembering.

You leave the session with one product checked end to end. If something didn't match, the change is already applied and logged in a note with the product, the change made, the time, and confirmation that the active catalog was updated.

You pick a real product from your catalog right now, and the tutor asks one thing at a time: today's listed price, the current replacement cost, what's listed about availability, and what's left on the shelf. It uses your answers to find where the listing drifted from reality, instead of assuming there's a problem.

It compares this to the price tag in a physical store: when the supplier changes the cost, the tag gets swapped right then, not at month's end. When a product's box runs empty, the "available" sign comes down right away. If you describe the update as something to do "every once in a while," the tutor circles back and asks which event should have triggered the change.

At the end, it asks you to rebuild the reasoning in your own words: which event made that price or that availability change, without falling back on a scheduled cleanup for later. The final task asks you to log this cycle with the real product you used. When you come back, the tutor asks what you checked and what got written in the note, and corrects only the point you missed checking or logging.

You keep the listed price from falling behind cost

Before, the price only got fixed when someone noticed the gap or a customer complained after checking out. With the review tied to the moment the cost changes, the listed price keeps up with the replacement cost instead of waiting for a fixed review cycle. That cuts down on selling below what the product costs the store today.

You stop showing availability that doesn't exist

Before, a sold-out item could stay listed as available until someone tried to buy it and found out there was none left. With availability updated the moment stock moves, the store avoids closing an order for a product it can't deliver, cutting down on cancellations, apologies, and having to fix the problem after the customer already expected the order confirmed.

You stop relying on memory to update prices

Before, fixing price and availability was a task that depended on someone remembering to do it, which delayed changes and left products outdated for weeks. With the event-based criteria (cost changed, stock moved, item ran out), the update happens at the right moment, even without anyone reviewing the whole catalog. That cuts the chance of a product staying wrong for lack of time or memory.

You end up with a record of what you checked

Before, even when someone fixed a price or an availability, there was no record of when it happened or why. With the note listing the product, the change made, the time, and confirmation that the active catalog was updated, the store builds a history of checks. That helps show, if needed, when an item was last reviewed and what changed at that moment.
