The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive overview of Veterans United by fetching the homepage and supplementing with web search results and a third-party review. The site's own content was sparse on pricing details; the agent worked around this by extracting pricing from search results and external sources, then flagged contradictions and gaps it encountered.

• ›Step [2] (homepage) provided only basic positioning and service overview; actual pricing details were absent and required step [4] (web search) to retrieve HMDA data, rate tables, and fee structures—the site does not publish these directly in an easily crawlable form.
• ›Step [4] (search results) contained the substantive pricing content (origination fees, funding fees, closing costs, current rates) and originated from Veterans United's own pages (/va-loans/va-mortgage-rates/, /resources/assets/va-loan-fees.pdf, /valoans/va-funding-fee/) but agent could only access them via search snippets, not by direct navigation.
• ›Step [5] (Finder review) was the only content-bearing third-party fetch and provided the comparative context (market dominance, Trustpilot rating, weaknesses vs. generalist competitors) that the site itself did not include.
• ›The agent identified and explicitly cited an origination fee contradiction (site claims 'zero' but HMDA data shows ~$1,943 average)—a discrepancy that suggests confusing fee terminology on the site itself, not model confusion.
• ›Site navigation failed at step [3] (404 on /home-loans/va-loans), forcing reliance on web search rather than site-internal discovery; the homepage did not offer clear structural links to detailed pricing or product pages.
