The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of Clover by working around a non-functional website. The clover.com domain itself returned only boilerplate HTML across all routes (steps 1–6), forcing the agent to rely entirely on web search results and third-party review sites. Despite this limitation, the agent synthesized information from multiple sources to deliver a coherent answer covering what Clover does, who it's for, pricing structure, and competitive differentiation—though pricing details remain fragmented across sources and the official site does not publish clear, machine-readable pricing.

• ›The clover.com website is a single-page application that returned identical boilerplate HTML for /, /pricing, /products, /features, and /plans (steps 1–6), making it completely non-navigable for content discovery. The agent correctly identified this and pivoted to web search.
• ›All substantive content came from third-party sources: tech.co pricing breakdown (step 12), comparative POS reviews (steps 14, 15), and multiple review aggregators (steps 8, 9). The agent cited 9 external sources in the final response and none from clover.com's own site.
• ›Pricing information, while ultimately provided, required assembly from scattered third-party sources and still contains caveats about contract terms, hardware lock-in, and 'hidden fees' that the agent flagged as confusing—indicating the official pricing structure is deliberately opaque or poorly published.
• ›The agent successfully identified key limitations of the site: no accessible pricing pages, unclear contract terms based on purchase channel (direct vs. reseller), and lack of transparent feature matrices by industry. This directly supports the 'heavy_bridge' friction classification—the agent had to build significant context externally.
• ›Clover ownership by Fiserv and business model pressures are mentioned in the final response but were not explicitly fetched in the trajectory, suggesting the agent drew on prior knowledge (57% per intake) to fill remaining gaps.
