This thesis studies dynamic pricing when agents reconnoitre in isolated sessions and thereby weaken the \emph{Cost of Information} (COI), the premium platforms typically extract once demand signals are expressed. The key technical risk is not ``agents buying things'' per se, but agents shaping the behavioral and demand signals that downstream pricing systems consume and depend on \parencite{xia_evaluation-driven_2025}. Dynamic pricing assumes demand proxies are behaviorally meaningful, while bot detection aims at security and access control.
