The frame for this comparisonProduct data is a practice, not a project.
Describely's unit of work is the description — its Shopify listing describes bulk generation of titles, descriptions, bullets, meta tags and metafields, content rules that keep a category on-brand and complete, and enrichment that researches and fills missing attributes, all published back to the store — so the comparison worth having isn't the first pass but the second: what the record does the day a supplier revises the document the copy was written from.
01
Ground it
Mine every spec from every source.
Every value traced to a document you can open. The catalog is only as honest as what it was built from.
02
Align it
Aim the catalog at the buyer who actually buys.
Grounded data still loses if it answers questions nobody asked. Alignment is what turns specs into conversion.
03
Keep it alive
Product data is a practice, not a project.
Markets move, suppliers reissue, buyers change what they ask for. A catalog that is right in March is wrong by August unless something is watching.
