Sales and purchase motivations not supplied. STORE-B: Fictional product page begins with gift packaging. Conversion and audience share not supplied. NOTE-01: One fictional customer asks how refilling works. Not a real interview or evidence about most buyers. Rejected claim: Most gift buyers prefer refills because they save money. Hypothesis to investigate: A clearer refill sequence may help explain the offer. BLANK LEDGER Source ID | URL or permitted source | Date | Observation | Limitation | Follow-up question
