+**Live demos:** [Hotel](https://phantom-hotel.vercel.app) | [Airline](https://phantom-airline.vercel.app) | [Academic page](https://velocitatem.github.io/PHANTOM/)
+
+## What this repository includes
+
+PHANTOM is a mixed research + engineering monorepo with:
+
+- a thesis (LaTeX) formalizing Cost of Information (COI) erosion under agentic reconnaissance,
+- a mode-switching web storefront (`hotel` and `airline`) for controlled human/agent interaction collection,
+- backend services for event ingestion and pricing,
+- an experimentation stack for benchmarks, contamination studies, and robust policy training.
+
+## Why this matters
+
+Dynamic pricing relies on demand signals collected during browsing. LLM-driven agents can split reconnaissance and execution into separate sessions, which weakens those signals and can collapse extractable price premium. PHANTOM exists to measure that mechanism directly and evaluate practical defenses in a controlled environment.
+
+## Quick start (local platform)
+

+```bash
+npm install
+cp .env.example .env
+cp .env.sweep.example .env.sweep

+# PHANTOM: setup for operators and partners
+
+This guide walks a team from **business context** (what you sell, how you price, what traffic you worry about) through a **running PHANTOM stack**, **behavioral kernels and contamination**, and **RL training / benchmarking**. The math lives in the thesis PDF; here we tie operations to that math without re-deriving it. References to the thesis use **chapter numbers** only (build the PDF locally if you need line-level citations).
+
+**Thesis (PDF):** [thesis-latest.pdf](https://pub-d5b94a3c29fd40c6b3881946e463fdb7.r2.dev/thesis-latest.pdf)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Who this is for / prerequisites
+
+**Audience:** Engineers and researchers who run Docker, a Next.js app, and Python tooling; product or risk stakeholders who define experiment goals and acceptable UX tradeoffs.
+
+**Skills:** Docker Compose, Node/npm, Python 3.8+, basic Kafka/Redis mental model.
+
+**Decide up front:**
+
+- **Vertical vs demo:** The repo ships `hotel` and `airline` storefront modes (`STORE_MODE`). Anything beyond that is custom integration work.
+- **Data residency:** Event streams and training artifacts default to paths under the repo (overridable via `PHANTOM_`* env vars in `lib/config.py`). Decide where logs and models may live before you point production-like traffic at the stack.
+- **Experiment governance:** Who may run human vs agent sessions, how sessions are labeled or weak-labeled for research, and retention policy for interaction logs.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+The formal model assumes each session is generated by a latent **actor class** $Y \in H,A$ (human vs agent). Your deployment choices implicitly assert **which sessions are valid for estimating human vs agent behavior** and whether experimental conditions are stable. If you mix exploratory QA traffic with labeled experiments without recording that fact, you blur the empirical partitions $D_H$ and $D_A$ that the methodology needs for transition kernels and contamination studies. See the **Introduction** (research questions) and **Methodology**, Problem Formalization, in the thesis PDF.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Business fit framing
+
+**The problem PHANTOM addresses:** Session-based pricing accumulates demand signals across a user's browsing history and raises quoted prices accordingly—the **Cost of Information (COI)** premium. LLM agents undercut this by separating reconnaissance (many isolated sessions, no signal accumulation) from execution (a clean session that quotes a floor price). The thesis proves that as the number of independent querying agents grows, the realizable price collapses to a minimum order statistic and COI approaches zero.
+
+**What PHANTOM gives you:** A controlled platform to measure how much COI is at risk under real agent traffic, simulate that risk across contamination levels $\alpha \in [0,1]$, and train pricing policies that remain robust. The pipeline runs from raw interaction logs through behavioral kernel estimation and a contamination generator to a DR-RL gym.
+
+**What you must supply:**
+
+- A **product catalog** path: defaults assume Supabase-backed product data (`NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`).
+- A plan for **interaction and price events** reaching the ingestion path (backend → Kafka) or an adapter you maintain.
+- Clear **experiment goals:** e.g. compare human vs agent KPIs under the same task, measure margin under varying contamination $\alpha$.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Aggregate demand in the thesis is a **mixture** over human and agent types with contamination $\alpha$ plus noise $\epsilon_t$; see the mixture demand discussion in **Chapter 3 (Methodology)**. COI is defined as $\mathbb{E}[P]-\underline{p}$; the **COI framework** and theorem in the same chapter explain why saturated agent querying collapses extractable premium. Your business scenario determines which **actions** enter $\hat{q}$ and how interpretable $\alpha$ is for your traffic.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Environment and secrets
+
+**Bootstrap files (from repo root):**
+
+```bash
+npm install
+cp .env.example .env
+cp .env.sweep.example .env.sweep
+```
+
+**Core `.env` (platform + web + docker):** See `[.env.example](.env.example)`. You must also set the variables called out in `[README.md](README.md)` for a full stack: `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`, `AIRFLOW_FERNET_KEY`, `AIRFLOW_SECRET_KEY` (and provider ports per your compose file).
+
+**Training / sweeps (`.env.sweep`):** Used by `make train`, `make benchmark`, sweep agents. Typically `WANDB_API_KEY`, optional `WANDB_ENTITY` / `WANDB_PROJECT`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` for bootstrap flows, `SWEEP_ID` for W&B sweep workers. See `[.env.sweep.example](.env.sweep.example)`.
+
+**Security:** Never commit real `.env` or `.env.sweep` files. Rotate keys if they leak.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Splitting **online platform credentials** (ingestion, catalog, Kafka) from **offline training credentials** (W&B, cloud TPUs, GitHub tokens for workers) mirrors the **hybrid Kappa–Lambda** data loop in the thesis: streaming observation vs batch / long-running training jobs. That split is named in the **Terminology** appendix of the thesis PDF.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Bring-up (commands)
+
+Aligned with `[README.md](README.md)`:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+cp .env.example .env
+cp .env.sweep.example .env.sweep
+# edit .env: Supabase, Airflow keys, etc.
+
+make platform.up
+make web.dev
+```
+
+**Sanity checks:**
+
+
+| Endpoint                                                      | Role                              |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| `http://localhost:3000`                                       | Next.js storefront                |
+| `http://localhost:5000/health`                                | Backend ingest API                |
+| `http://localhost:5001/health`                                | Pricing provider                  |
+| `http://localhost:8085`                                       | Airflow UI (default compose port) |
+| `http://localhost:8084` or configured `REDPANDA_CONSOLE_PORT` | Kafka console (see your `.env`)   |
+
+
+**Optional tests:** `make test.backend` (with venv/tooling as in Makefile); `make test.e2e` requires backend, web, and Airflow up per README.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+A correctly wired stack logs **trajectories** $\tau_s$ (sequences of events) and **price exposure** together. **Chapter 3** defines events $e_{s,k}=(a,i,t)$ and proxies $\hat{q}$ from weighted actions—without joint logging of behavior and quotes, you cannot recover the objects the theory reasons about (Problem Formalization).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Service map

+  U[Human / Agent Browser] --> W[Next.js Web App]
+  W -->|Price requests| P[Pricing Provider]
+  W -->|Interaction events| B[Backend Ingest API]

+```
+
+
+
+**Ports (typical; confirm in `docker-compose` and `.env`):** `BACKEND_PORT` (5000), `PROVIDER_PORT` (5001), `KAFKA_PORT`, `REDIS_PORT`, Airflow `AIRFLOW_WEBSERVER_PORT` (8085 default), Redpanda console.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+The platform **observes** behavioral proxies and quoted prices, not the latent demand curve $d(p\mid\theta)$. The distinction between $\hat{q}$ and true demand is explicit in **Chapter 3**. Misattributing proxy noise to “true” elasticity breaks both estimation and any causal story about COI.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Tailoring to your business
+
+**Storefront mode:** `STORE_MODE=hotel` or `airline` (see `[web/src/lib/config.ts](web/src/lib/config.ts)` and env). This switches catalog and UI, not the core ingestion pattern.
+
+**API base / environment:** `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENV` (validated in `config.ts`).
+
+**Paths for data and runs:** Override with `PHANTOM_DATA_DIR`, `PHANTOM_SIM_RUNS_DIR`, `PHANTOM_MODEL_REGISTRY_DIR`, `PHANTOM_COLLECTED_DATA_DIR`, etc. (`[lib/config.py](lib/config.py)`).
+
+**Scope:** A new vertical (custom product ontology, checkout rules, pricing rules) means **new UI, events, and possibly new reward features** in the engine. Budget engineering time; the repo is a research platform, not a turnkey SaaS skin for arbitrary catalogs without code changes.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Transition kernels $\hat{\mathcal{T}}_H,\hat{\mathcal{T}}_A$ are estimated on a **finite action / state space** derived from your instrumentation. Changing catalog depth or event taxonomy changes the MDP state space; old kernel estimates are not portable. See the transition kernel discussion in **Chapter 3**.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Data collection and experiments
+
+**Flow:** Browser → backend → **Kafka** → downstream consumers (Airflow DAGs, notebooks, ETL under `experiments/`). Ensure **session identity**, **item identifiers**, and **action types** are consistent enough to build trajectories.
+
+**Weak labels:** The thesis discusses partitioning data into human vs agent subsets for MLE transition counts. In production you may only have heuristic labels—document bias explicitly.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Distinguishability (sub-question SQ1 in the **Introduction**) asks whether $H$ vs $A$ is identifiable from behavior alone. Your labeling and experimental design determine whether $\Delta_H,\Delta_A$ and $f(\tau)$ are meaningful or dominated by noise. Symbols appear in the **Terminology** appendix ($\Delta_H,\Delta_A$, $f(\tau)$, contamination generator $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$).
+
+---
+
+## 8. Transition kernels and agent scoring (theory → practice)
+
+**Theory:** Sessions yield trajectories $\tau_s$. For each actor class $y\inH,A$, the thesis estimates a **Markov transition kernel** by counting transitions and normalizing (MLE):
+
+$$
+\hat{P}(s' \mid s) = \frac{N(s,s')}{\sum_k N(s,k)}
+$$
+
+Human and agent prototypes $\hat{\mathcal{T}}_H,\hat{\mathcal{T}}_A$ support comparing an empirical kernel from a partial trajectory to prototypes (e.g. KL-style divergences $\Delta_H,\Delta_A$) and mapping to a **weak agent probability** $f(\tau)$. See **Chapter 3** and the **Terminology** appendix.
+
+**Code:** `[engine/lib/coi.py](engine/lib/coi.py)` (`compute_agent_probability`: empirical transition counts vs human/agent reference dicts, KL-style terms, mapped via `[lib/agent_probability.py](lib/agent_probability.py)`).
+
+**Optional narrative:** `[blog/02-behavioral-fingerprinting.md](blog/02-behavioral-fingerprinting.md)` walks a concrete study design (not required for operators).
+
+### Theoretical implications

+If reference kernels are fit on **stale** or **mislabeled** partitions, $\Delta_H-\Delta_A$ is not interpretable as distinguishability. Ground claims in SQ1 (**Introduction**) and the kernel subsection of **Chapter 3**.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Contamination generator $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$
+
+**Theory:** Given clean trajectories, $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$ injects synthetic agent trajectories until the effective mixture reaches contamination $\alpha\in[0,1]$, defining training scenarios for robust policies (**Chapter 3**). Catalog-scale block expansion of kernels is discussed there with validation caveats—treat large product spaces as **research-grade** until your team signs off.
+
+**Code:** `[engine/engine.py](engine/engine.py)` — `MarketEngine` mixes human/agent demand, uses `get_adjusted_transitions` / `sample_behavior_from_transitions`, and `alpha` when combining actor types and building demand proxies (`estimate_demand`). This is the **simulator** path, not a drop-in replacement for your production database.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+$\alpha$ in mixture $Q(p)$ is **agentic demand contribution** in the formal model, not necessarily “bot share of page views” unless your instrumentation equates them. Mismeasuring $\alpha$ biases robust objectives tied to a fixed contamination level.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Training and evaluation — local workflow
+
+**Environment:** Python venv via Nx (`make install` / `nx run research:install`). Training commands load `.env.sweep`.
+
+```bash
+make train LOCAL_TRAIN_ARGS='--algo ppo --total-timesteps 50000'
+make benchmark LOCAL_BENCHMARK_ARGS='--tiers static,surge,linear,qtable,ppo --alpha-values 0.0,0.3 --episodes 3 --no-wandb'
+make benchmark.simple
+```
+
+Entrypoints: `[engine/train.py](engine/train.py)`, `[engine/benchmark.py](engine/benchmark.py)`, `[engine/spec.py](engine/spec.py)` (Nx wraps these—see `project.json` / research targets).
+
+**Artifacts:** `[lib/config.py](lib/config.py)` — `PHANTOM_SIM_RUNS_DIR` (default `sim/rl/runs`), `PHANTOM_MODEL_REGISTRY_DIR`, etc.
+
+**TensorBoard (optional):** `[docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml)` includes `tensorboard-rl` on host port **6007** (`./sim/rl/runs`) and `tensorboard-ml` on **6006** (`./experiments/ml/runs`).
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Local runs instantiate the **offline defense gym**: policies trained on simulator-induced distributions approximate the DR-RL narrative in **Chapter 3**, but hyperparameters ($\lambda$ on COI leakage, $\eta$ on UX, robust radius) change the effective ambiguity set. Cross-check `engine/` against the thesis before claiming figure-for-figure replication.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Training and evaluation — remote / scaled deployment
+
+For **research at scale** (cloud quota and secrets required):
+
+
+| Mechanism                                   | Role                                                                                                                      |
+| ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `[submit_ray_job.sh](submit_ray_job.sh)`    | Ray jobs with `.env` injected; `RAY_MODE=single|distributed|benchmark|sweep`. Set the script’s `ROOT` to your clone path. |
+| `make tpu.ray.bootstrap` / `tpu.ray.`*      | TPU Ray bootstrap (`TPU_CONF`, e.g. `tpu_orchestration/configs/v4_spot_us.conf`).                                         |
+| `make train.agent` / `make benchmark.agent` | W&B sweeps: `SWEEP_ID` in `.env.sweep`.                                                                                   |
+| `make train.bootstrap`                      | Worker bootstrap: `REPO_URL`, `SWEEP_ID`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`.                                                                 |
+| `make docker.train.publish`                 | Trainer image (`TRAIN_IMAGE_REF` in Makefile).                                                                            |
+
+
+See `submit_ray_job.sh` for env vars (`WANDB_*`, `PHANTOM_*` TPU toggles).
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Distributed training does not change the **definitions** of the Stackelberg game or Wasserstein ambiguity; it changes compute and variance of empirical estimates. Align random seeds and data protocol across nodes or split results explicitly—otherwise you mix distributions in a way a single empirical law $\hat{P}_N$ in the thesis does not describe.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Evaluation, artifacts, and audit trail
+
+**Benchmarks:** `make benchmark`* sweeps tiers and $\alpha$; CLI includes robustness knobs (see default `BENCHMARK_ARGS` in `submit_ray_job.sh`: `--robust-radius`, `--lambda-coi`, `--eta-ux`, etc.).
+
+**Audit trail:** Store `git` SHA, CLI argv, non-secret `.env.sweep` keys, and W&B run IDs with published tables. For scientific claims, cite **Chapters 4–5 (Results, Discussion)** in the thesis PDF.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Evaluation quality equals **simulator fidelity** plus **contamination modeling**. Separate theorem statements (assumption-based) from empirical curves (`engine`-dependent).
+
+---
+
+## 13. Operational suggestions
+
+- **Staging:** Non-production namespaces; separate Kafka topics and Supabase projects where possible.
+- **Rate limits / abuse:** Protect ingest endpoints; respect participant privacy.
+- **Human vs agent sessions:** Comparable cohorts; record experimental condition in metadata.
+- **Contracts:** `tests/e2e/` encodes minimal flows—use when APIs change.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Non-stationary noise $\epsilon_t$ and drifting $\alpha$ confound benchmark interpretation. **Chapter 3** discusses mixture identification: isolate treatments when possible and document confounders when not.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Roadmap and gaps
+
+**In repo:** Local dockerized stack, demo verticals, engine benchmarks, documented env and paths.
+
+**Usually custom:** Production catalog without Supabase, identity/fraud layers, legal review of logging, Kafka/Airflow SLAs, hardening the pricing provider for real money.
+
+**Thesis vs code:** The PDF is the **spec**; not every robustness term or large-catalog kernel construction is production-verified—see caveats in **Chapter 3**.
+
+### Theoretical implications
+
+Theorems in the thesis can be **stronger** than what observational firm logs support. The COI result assumes a clean experimental reading of the pricing policy; live market data may only support weaker claims.

+
+Many offline benchmarks run without a storefront once the research Python environment is installed; connecting production trajectories to kernel estimation still requires aligned instrumentation.

-            The primary objective of this thesis is to develop and validate pricing heuristics that protect e-commerce platforms from systematic exploitation by Large Language Model (LLM) agents within dynamic pricing environments. As AI agents increasingly mediate consumer transactions, they enable users to circumvent the Cost of Information (the price premium accumulated through demand signal expression) by conducting reconnaissance in isolated sessions before executing purchases through clean sessions at base prices. This research will make an anticipatory contribution by adapting recommendation system methodologies to distinguish between genuine human browsing behaviour and agent-orchestrated information gathering, thereby enabling pricing systems to maintain margin integrity without degrading the user experience for legitimate customers or getting rid of leads generated by LLMs.
+            Dynamic pricing extracts margin by exploiting the gap between what a platform knows and what a buyer knows. A user who browses a hotel across several sessions signals intent; the platform raises the price accordingly. That information asymmetry — the <em>Cost of Information</em> — is the economic engine behind session-based pricing in travel, hospitality, and e-commerce.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            LLM agents break the engine. An agent conducting reconnaissance in isolated sessions accumulates zero demand signal, then routes the purchase through a clean session at the floor price. As the number of independent querying agents grows, the realizable price converges to its minimum order statistic and COI collapses to zero. This is not a future risk; it is a structural failure mode in any pricing system that treats sessions independently.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            PHANTOM formalizes the failure, measures it on real human and agent interaction data, and builds a defense. We prove the COI erosion theorem, collect 29 labeled sessions (13 human, 16 agent) across hotel and airline storefronts under goal-driven tasks, learn class-specific Markov transition kernels, and train a Distributionally Robust RL pricing policy over a Wasserstein ambiguity set. Behavioral separability is statistically significant (Mann–Whitney <em>U</em> = 2.0, <em>p</em> = 0.0006). The per-session agent probability signal <em>f</em>(τ) feeds directly into the robust policy reward as a COI-leakage penalty.

+# Business overview
+
+Dynamic pricing extracts margin by exploiting the information asymmetry between buyer and seller. When a user browses a flight or hotel across multiple sessions, each interaction accumulates demand signals that push the quoted price upward. That is the mechanism working as intended.
+
+LLM agents break it. An agent can conduct reconnaissance—across dozens of isolated sessions, at machine speed—and then execute a purchase through a clean session that looks like a first-time visitor. The platform sees a low-engagement session and quotes a floor price. The margin that should have been captured, the **Cost of Information (COI)**, vanishes. At scale this is not a theoretical concern; it is a structural leak in any session-based pricing system.
+
+**PHANTOM is a research platform for studying and defending against that leak.**
+
+## Who it is for
+
+| Role | What they get |
+|---|---|
+| Pricing and revenue researchers | A controlled lab with instrumented human and agent sessions, behavioral kernel estimation, and contamination simulation at configurable levels |
+| Platform engineers evaluating agent risk | A concrete pipeline from behavioral event logs to a per-session agent-probability signal, ready to feed into an existing pricing provider |
+| RL practitioners | A Distributionally Robust RL gym built on a Wasserstein ambiguity set, with benchmark tiers and sweep tooling out of the box |
+
+## Core capabilities
+
+**Behavioral fingerprinting.** PHANTOM logs interaction trajectories at the event level (action, item, timestamp) and fits separate Markov transition kernels for human and agent sessions via MLE. Per-session divergence scores (Δ_H, Δ_A) and a learned agent-probability signal f(τ) are computed on partial trajectories in real time, giving the pricing layer a continuous signal rather than a binary bot flag.
+
+**Contamination simulation.** The contamination generator G(α) mixes real human trajectories with synthetic agent trajectories at a configurable ratio α. This lets you evaluate pricing robustness across the full spectrum from purely human traffic to fully automated demand, without needing live agent traffic in production.
+
+**Robust policy training.** The defense gym trains pricing policies against the worst-case demand distribution within a Wasserstein ball around the generator's empirical distribution. The reward function penalizes COI leakage (weighted by agent probability) while bounding UX degradation for legitimate users.
+
+## The path from logs to defense
+
+A team: connects their catalog and ingest path → streams interaction events through Kafka → labels or weak-labels sessions → estimates behavioral kernels → varies α in simulation → trains and benchmarks robust policies. The full walkthrough is in [Setup](platform-setup.md).
+
+## Scope and honest caveats
+
+This is a **research stack**, not a hosted service:
+
+- It ships two demo verticals (`hotel`, `airline`); a new catalog requires engineering work on events and reward features.
+- Kernel estimates are research-grade until validated on your traffic distribution.
+- There is no built-in compliance layer for regulated pricing markets.
+
+The thesis PDF contains the formal proofs, the COI erosion theorem, and the full DR-RL formulation. The code operationalizes those constructs—every term in the reward function maps to something computed from your logs.
+
+**Thesis PDF:** [thesis-latest.pdf](https://pub-d5b94a3c29fd40c6b3881946e463fdb7.r2.dev/thesis-latest.pdf) — Introduction and Chapter 3 cover the problem statement, contributions, and formal model.

+# PHANTOM
+
+LLM agents are quietly eroding the pricing power of dynamic pricing systems. They conduct reconnaissance across isolated sessions at machine speed and execute purchases through clean sessions that quote floor prices. The margin that should have accumulated never does.
+
+PHANTOM is a research platform for measuring, simulating, and defending against that erosion. It provides behavioral fingerprinting of human vs agent sessions, a contamination generator for controlled experiments, and a Distributionally Robust RL gym for training pricing policies that hold up under automated demand.

+# Roadmap & implementation notes
+
+This page is the **honesty pass** from the documentation plan: what clients can expect today versus what remains research-heavy.
+
+## Turnkey in this repository
+
+- **Local stack:** Docker Compose services for backend, Kafka, Redis, Airflow, pricing provider, etc.; Next.js via `make web.dev` (see [Platform setup](platform-setup.md)).
+- **Demo verticals:** `hotel` and `airline` storefront modes.
+- **Engine:** Benchmarks and training entrypoints (`make train`, `make benchmark`), KL-based agent scoring in `[engine/lib/coi.py](https://github.com/velocitatem/PHANTOM/blob/main/engine/lib/coi.py)`, simulator mixing in `[engine/engine.py](https://github.com/velocitatem/PHANTOM/blob/main/engine/engine.py)`.
+- **Orchestration hooks:** Ray/TPU scripts (`submit_ray_job.sh`, `make tpu.ray.`*), W&B sweep agents, Docker trainer publish target.
+
+## Usually requires custom engineering
+
+- **Non-Supabase catalog** or checkout flows without adapting the web + backend contracts.
+- **Production SLAs** on Kafka, schema registry, or PII boundaries for your jurisdiction.
+- **Tight coupling** to a legacy pricing engine without mapping its API to the provider abstraction.
+
+## Thesis vs code
+
+- The **thesis** states theorems and constructions (COI erosion, kernels, \mathcal{G}(\alpha), DR-RL).  
+- The **codebase** implements a **subset** of that story for experiments: verify CLI flags and simulator assumptions before claiming 1:1 equivalence with every equation.
+- **Catalog-scale kernel expansion** is discussed in **Chapter 3** with explicit validation caveats—do not assume row-stochasticity and Markov structure are automatically preserved at full product cardinality without review.
+
+## Suggested client messaging
+
+Position PHANTOM as a **reproducible research and evaluation stack** for agent-aware pricing, with a path to custom integration—not as a black-box “turn on anti-agent pricing” product without data and engineering investment.
