Product classification

Make different marketplaces speak a common product language.

A consistent classification model helps teams compare products across sources, markets and channels without inheriting every inconsistency in the original listing structure.

The approach

Built to make evidence more useful.

Technology matters when it creates a clearer, more comparable and more responsible basis for decision-making.

Category hierarchy

Organize products from broad commercial categories down to the level of detail needed for the decision.

Product attributes

Structure dimensions such as brand, format, variant, pack, quantity and other category-relevant properties.

Consistency checks

Review unusual, ambiguous and high-impact classifications rather than relying on automated labels alone.

The operating model

Traceable steps. Consistent judgment.

A repeatable analytical workflow helps teams interpret market movement without reducing complex evidence to a black box.

01

Define

Agree the taxonomy and attributes that matter to the market question.

02

Classify

Apply repeatable rules and machine assistance to organize the product set.

03

Review

Examine exceptions and refine mappings where source information is incomplete.

Working principles

Clarity is part of the product.

Independent of source menus

A common category tree makes comparison possible even when marketplaces organize products differently.

Category-specific depth

The useful attributes for beauty, electronics and food are not identical; the model should reflect the category.

Human review where it matters

Automation increases scale, while review focuses attention on ambiguity and commercially important exceptions.

Versioned definitions

Classification rules should remain traceable as categories, terminology and market behavior evolve.
