# LiveWirePicks — LiveWire Picks

Brand: **LiveWire Picks**. LiveWire Picks is a shopper-facing discovery site (not an online store) that publishes human- and AI-assisted deal judgment: transparent AI Scores where evidence supports them, freshness checks, and validated non-Amazon browsing in **Checked Deals**. Outbound retailer links may be affiliate links; disclosures appear where users decide to click.

## Homepage concepts

- **Hero / Top Picks**: A small shelf for the strongest current recommendations that clear a high AI Score band and freshness bar.
- **AI Picks**: Score-worthy product-level deals surfaced as editorial recommendations (not mere percent-off hype).
- **Amazon Finds**: An Amazon-forward visibility shelf for Amazon-available picks. It does **not** change the underlying scoring math or inflate AI Score—placement is contextual, judgment remains evidence-driven.
- **Stock-Up Deals**: Repeat-buy staples (groceries, household, personal care). Useful value can score strongly when brands and usefulness are credible, not because the category labels sound “premium.”
- **Seasonal Sale Events**: Time-bound retail events judged with expectations that reflect sale pages versus exact-SKU buys.
- **Games & Digital Deals**: Software/game offers where proof, delivery method, DRM/region nuances, and offer structure differ from generic hard-goods assumptions.
- **Checked Deals**: A broader validated lane across non-Amazon merchants. Eligible listings can earn AI Score when signals are sufficient; thinner sale-hub pages may remain checked-but-unscored.

## AI Score definition

AI Score is a **shopping judgment**, not raw discount arithmetic. Signals include shopper value at the posted price, trust in the merchant and listing, product worthiness, **discount strength in context**, **deal proof/rarity**, **freshness**, and comparison against reviewed examples. Missing evidence lowers confidence—it is not assumed to prove a negative—but it prevents top recommendation bands unless the remainder is overwhelmingly strong.

## Compensation vs quality

Commission does not dictate AI Score tiers. Monetization affects where some links route and which shelves highlight Amazon-available inventory—not whether a SKU clears the bar for Hero or Strong tiers.
