# About IronScout

IronScout is an independent ammunition pricing and discovery platform. It
exists because buying ammo online is messier than it should be: caliber
aliases, inconsistent grain labels, per-round vs per-box pricing, and
retailer catalogs that change hourly.

## What IronScout Does

- **Canonical product grouping.** The same 9mm 115gr FMJ 50-round box from
  five retailers is grouped so prices are comparable at a glance.
- **Per-round normalization.** All prices are normalized to price-per-round
  so box counts stop distorting comparisons.
- **Daily price tracking.** IronScout checks prices and availability at
  tracked retailers once a day, in nightly batches.
  Historical snapshots are append-only.
- **Descriptive, not prescriptive.** IronScout reports what the market is
  doing. It does not tell users what to buy.

## What IronScout Is Not

- Not a retailer. IronScout does not sell ammunition.
- Not a deal scorer. No "hot deal" badges, no verdicts, no rankings by
  desirability.
- Not a predictor. No forecasts of future prices.
