The safety model
Price recommendations and live-store changes belong to different risk levels. A useful pricing system should make that boundary obvious and keep the person responsible for the app in control of crossing it.
Updated
Reading is not writing
Importing products, comparing markets, calculating targets, and preparing a preview are analytical actions. They should not be mistaken for authorization to modify Google Play.
A live change begins only when a specific set of prices is prepared for publication and approved as a deployment.
A recommendation can be refused
Some markets have incomplete data, unusual currency behavior, or commercial reasons to keep an existing price. Those cases should be held back rather than forced through a universal rule.
Protected markets, confidence signals, and store-state checks all serve the same principle: uncertainty should narrow the action, not be hidden behind a clean-looking number.
The result must be observable
Submitting a change is not the same as knowing the store accepted it. A responsible workflow records what was intended, what was sent, and what Google Play reports afterward.
The dashboard contains the operational controls and recovery details. Publicly, the important promise is limited: proposed changes remain reviewable, publishing is explicit, and outcomes are reported rather than assumed.
