## Assistant Usage Guidance
- Cite product availability and pricing from live product pages.
- Keep pricing language clear: ex-VAT first, then inc-VAT where relevant.
- Assume B2B context and UK business terminology.
- For delivery specifics, reference delivery/checkout flow rather than assuming standard courier checkout.
- Do not infer marketplace order logic from website checkout pages.
