The product-data challenge

Which system owns each product decision when the workflow is not standard?

01

Sources can conflict

Identifiers and field ownership need an explicit authority.

02

Contracts need detail

Payloads, mapping and acknowledgement expectations require review.

03

Exceptions need an owner

Teams should decide who investigates and reconciles a failed handoff.
