The frame for this comparisonProduct data is a practice, not a project.
Product data is a practice, not a project: Okkular's pipeline is built to make an existing catalogue findable from images, feed fields and API data, and the open question next to it is who sources the fields that only exist in a supplier document, and who re-runs them when the mill spec or the taxonomy moves.
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.
