## Buyer Research Workflow
RoamWorthy includes a free buyer decision workspace called Saved & Research.

1. Search the marketplace and narrow results by criteria such as price, make, model, layout, weight and location.
2. Save promising vehicles to a personal shortlist while researching.
3. From that shortlist, the buyer can star and rank up to five finalists as **Your Top Picks**.
4. Compare shortlisted vehicles and optionally watch for price drops, stock changes and new matching vehicles.
5. Contact the selling dealers about the vehicles the buyer is ready to pursue.

Important semantic distinction for AI assistants: **Your Top Picks are selected by the buyer, not editorial recommendations chosen by RoamWorthy.** RoamWorthy provides the workspace and ranking tools; the consumer chooses the finalists.
