Choose a useful pilot
Pick one product or a small collection. Write down the question you want the passport to answer and the audience who will use it.
Define product identity
Decide whether the record sits at SKU, batch or item level. Keep a stable identifier and record the relationship between product variants and production batches.
Map information sources
List the people and records behind materials, production, origin and care. Identify what is held internally and what must come from suppliers.
Attach evidence carefully
Record document owner, date, scope, validity and the product relationship. Flag a supplier declaration as a declaration; do not treat it as independent certification.
Agree what can be public
Separate customer information from confidential supplier records. Review every claim before publishing and agree who owns future updates.
