The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of EPEAT by combining content from the official epeat.net site with external references from the Global Electronics Council and third-party sources. The site itself was poorly navigable for direct information discovery—many intuitive URLs (about, manufacturers, pricing, how-it-works) returned 404s, forcing the agent to rely on web search to find the correct /about-epeat endpoint and external sources. Critical information like pricing remained inaccessible on the site itself, requiring the agent to disclose this gap transparently.

• ›Step [10] (/about-epeat) was the only official EPEAT page that successfully loaded and contained core positioning; homepage [1] and [8] loaded but returned truncated HTML without usable content extraction.
• ›The site's navigation structure is broken—the agent's reasonable guesses at /about, /manufacturers, /how-it-works, and /pricing all returned 404s, forcing reliance on web search [9] to discover the correct /about-epeat URL.
• ›Pricing information is deliberately hidden from the public website; the agent found a reference to a 2026 fee document but could not access actual costs, which it correctly flagged as a major information gap for the use case.
• ›External sources (steps [11] Global Electronics Council, [14] ecolabels comparison, [16] and [18] search results) provided more structured, agent-readable information about EPEAT's tiers, criteria, and competitive positioning than the official site could surface.
• ›The official site appears to be mid-migration or technically fragmented (references to both Webflow and ASP.NET stacks), with truncated HTML responses that did not yield clean content extraction.
• ›The agent had to explicitly disclose what it could not find (manufacturer registration process, exact pricing, Supplier Engagement Program clarity) rather than hallucinate, demonstrating appropriate handling of information gaps.
