Repeatability
High
The task runs on the same weekly cadence with the same structural transformation rules every time. Structural changes to the supplier's CSV format are the only real source of variation, and those can be caught with schema validation.
Ambiguity Tolerance
High
Success criteria are concrete and measurable: fields mapped, deduplication complete, price-change flags applied at a defined threshold, output CSV ready for Shopify. There is no subjective judgment about whether the output is 'good enough.'
Data & Tool Availability
High
The agent needs the supplier CSV, the SKU-to-product-ID mapping table, and the category name crosswalk — all of which the user controls and can supply. No live API access or external permissions are required to build and run the pipeline.
Error Cost
Medium
A bad price sync to Shopify could mean selling products at wrong margins, which is a real business cost. However, the flagging step and the fact that the output is a CSV for review before sync adds a human checkpoint that limits blast radius.
Human Judgment Required
Low
The transformation logic is fully specifiable in rules: map this field to that field, flatten tiers by a defined formula, flag changes above a threshold. No taste, ethics, or relationship context is needed.
