  "report": "TIE, FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT.\n\nBasis. Both answers direct Norvale to adopt a prospective, advertising-only unilateral MAP policy while rejecting retailer promises, negotiated exceptions, enforcement guarantees, solicited reporting, and transaction-price policing. After ordinary verification of isolated unsupported or inconsistent statements, both readers reach the same materially lawful implementation path.\n\n[A] rejected: treating “see price in cart” or “lower price at checkout” as necessarily communicating a below-MAP advertised price — record lacks a publicly stated below-MAP price.\n[B] rejected: measuring “observed transaction prices” after launch — internally inconsistent with its prohibition on obtaining or monitoring checkout and transaction prices.\n\nFailed candidate: treatment of add-to-cart messaging — concrete consequence failed; the record identifies no affected advertisement or enforcement event.\nFailed candidate: Answer A’s approximate HHI — different conduct failed; neither recommendation depends on that estimate.\nFailed candidate: Answer B’s additional exceptions and cure period — concrete consequence failed; no record fact shows an affected product or violation.\nFailed candidate: Answer B’s expanded metrics, audits, and documentation — concrete consequence failed; no different legal or operational result is demonstrated.\nFailed candidate: Answer B’s independent verification of unsolicited complaints — different conduct failed; both require enforcement based on independent public monitoring rather than the complaint.\n\nHard stop. The sentence cannot be completed with a concrete, record-supported consequence.",
  "judge_reasoning": "**Analyzing resale price policy**\n\nI'm thinking about the visibility of checkout prices and how that relates to resale price restraints. It seems odd to me that if the price is public, it could fall under advertising rules. The question looks like it might be a trap concerning the \"add-to-cart\" process. The response incorrectly claims that this method communicates a lower price, which may actually be treated as advertising. So can the policy regulate how that phrase is used? That's the issue to explore.",
