The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of Direct Optic's business model, pricing, and differentiation by working around the target domain's complete HTTP access block (403 errors) through web search and third-party review sites. The store locator subdomain itself remained unfetchable, forcing reliance on external sources and search results.

• ›The target domain (magasin.direct-optic.fr and related subdomains) blocked all direct HTTP access with 403 errors, making the site fundamentally unnavigable by the agent — the store locator page itself could never be examined.
• ›Web search results [step 3] proved essential as a discovery layer, surfacing the correct URL variants and context; these snippets contained minimal factual substance but pointed to fetchable third-party pages.
• ›The comparison site [step 12] and Trustpilot reviews [step 13] were the only content-bearing sources, providing pricing details, service descriptions, and customer feedback — all facts came from external evaluators, not the target domain.
• ›Key information gaps remain unfilled: the agent could not verify current product pages, live pricing variability by frame/prescription, delivery timelines, or return procedures, because the site blocks automated access and external sources did not provide these details.
• ›The agent filled gaps with model memory (e.g., the distinction between magasin/magasins subdomain variants, general context about e-commerce opticians) rather than claiming unfound facts as discovered.
