AI Save is a deals site with one rule: a deal is published only when its math has been checked. Our pipeline does the checking, and every deal page shows the work.
What gets checked
Price history. We record prices for the products we track, every day, into our own price-history database. A deal's price is compared against the item's median recorded price. The comparison window is up to 90 days; while an item's record is younger than that, the median covers the recorded span so far — and every deal page prints that span next to the figure, so a three-week record is never dressed up as a 90-day one. A "50% off" claim that is really 5% below the usual price scores like what it is.
List prices. The strikethrough "was" price is the most abused number in retail. We compare the claimed list price against the highest price the item has actually sold for in our recorded prices (up to the last 90 days). If the claim is far above anything real, the deal card says so, in plain words — with the recorded span attached.
Liveness. Deals are re-checked on a schedule. When a deal dies, its page is stamped EXPIRED and kept up — quietly deleting dead deals is how deal sites pretend they were never wrong.
The score. Every deal gets 0–100: up to 50 points for the true discount against the recorded median, 20 for price position against the recorded range, 15 for list-price honesty, 10 for how recently the deal was verified, and 5 for how much time is left on it. The full breakdown is printed on every deal page.
What we will not do
No paid placement changes a score. No coupon code is published unless it was issued through the affiliate program or by the brand itself. No price is shown for Amazon unless it is served by Amazon's own systems with a timestamp. And if a check cannot be completed, the deal does not publish — an empty shelf beats an unverified one.
