What this is

This is a readiness worksheet, not a compliance score. It helps a team discover whether product data exists, who owns it, and which claims have evidence.

Step 1: category and status

Write down each product category and match it to a status: adopted law, ESPR framework, working-plan category, horizontal requirement, or market guidance. Do not mix those statuses in one claim.

Step 2: product identity

List your SKU, model, batch, serial, or item identifier strategy. Then write down whether the future passport is likely to need model, batch, or item level data. Unknown is an acceptable answer until the delegated act says more.

Step 3: evidence ownership

For each product family, name the owner for materials, components, supplier evidence, certificates, public claims, repair data, and update workflow.

Step 4: buying software

Talk to vendors after you can describe product categories, source systems, supplier constraints, access rights, and update cadence. Otherwise you are evaluating a demo shape instead of an operating model.
