    A Consumerium intermediate channel page, e.g. for friendly retail, worn device, mobile device vendor profiling, is an intermediate page that details every comprehensive outcome of buying any commodity, product, or service from a given channel. Consumerium Services manage these in the Research Wiki. Differences such as the packaging or transport method or waste disposal poilcy mean that the same product can have a drastically different impact based on how it is bought: consider buying organice rice in bulk that is transported via ship vs. buying it in small packages that are FedExed by air right to your door...!

    Such pages help people identify healthy signal infrastructure concerns and make choices to, e.g. minimize tantallum use, or maximize Consumerium Service access, or otherwise patronize our friends (and punish our enemies out of business entirely). See buy book for examples of how this might be done.

    Effectively these pages are about the institutional buying criteria of the Consumerium Governance Organization itself, and how it expands operations. Note that we probably are somewhat more forgiving of various bad practices by suppliers essential to build out the infrastructure initially, but that we must swap out bad suppliers for good ones over time. These pages might go away when the healthy signal infrastructure is stable all over the planet!

    The more specific Consumerium:intermediate barcode pages reflect the combination of a specific channel and the product that is sold by that barcode via that channel. All issues with any of them will appear at once in a single report.
