When chat-native product discovery explicitly separates a “coverage view” (aiming to show a diverse slice of the option space across merchants, attributes, and time horizons) from a “best guess view” (the agent’s single high-relevance, high-freshness ordering), and lets users toggle and compare them side by side, does this dual-view framing reduce over-trust in any one ranking and change merchant incentives toward broader coverage— or do users still treat the best-guess view as the de facto truth while the coverage view becomes a rarely trusted secondary list?

Dual coverage/best-guess views probably reduce blind over-trust in a single ranking a bit and slightly raise coverage confidence, but many users will still default to the best-guess view as the practical truth unless the UI makes coverage meaningfully actionable. Merchant incentives shift toward coverage only if exposure, badges, and reporting make coverage performance salient; otherwise, best-guess remains dominant.
