+- each purchase row preserves:
+  - purchase date
+  - retailer
+  - order id
+  - raw item name
+  - normalized item name
+  - canonical item id when resolved
+  - quantity / unit
+  - line total
+  - store/location info where available
 - derive normalized comparison fields where possible on enriched or observed product rows:
   - `price_per_lb`
   - `price_per_oz`

   - receipt weight
   - explicit count/pack
 - emit nulls when basis is unknown, conflicting, or ambiguous
+- support pivot-friendly analysis of purchase frequency and item cost over time
 - document at least one Giant vs Costco comparison example using the normalized metrics
 
 ** notes
 - compute metrics as close to the raw observation as possible
 - canonical layer can aggregate later, but should not invent missing unit economics
 - unit discipline matters more than coverage
+- raw item name must be retained for audit/debugging

+
+** acceptance criteria
+- define the persistent files used to resolve unknown items, including:
+  - review queue
+  - canonical item catalog
+  - alias / mapping layer if separate
+- specify how unresolved items move from `review_queue.csv` into the final normalized purchase log
+- define the manual resolution workflow, including:
+  - what the human edits
+  - what script is rerun afterward
+  - how resolved mappings are persisted for future runs
+- ensure resolved items are positively identified into stable canonical item ids rather than one-off text substitutions
+- document how raw item name, normalized item name, and canonical item id are all retained
+
+** notes
+- goal is “approve once, reuse forever”
+- keep the workflow simple and auditable
+- manual review is fine; the important part is making it durable and rerunnable
