1781product evidence platform
Know what every product can prove.
Turn your product catalogue and documentation into structured, source-backed product data. 1781 maps every document to the products it actually covers, identifies missing information and preserves the evidence behind every approved value.
For European manufacturers, importers and distributors with 100+ products.

Demonstration based on publicly available, draft and unverified product information. Harris ApS is not a customer, and no product has been legally assessed.
From document folders to product evidence.
Your product information already exists. It is just not in one shape.
It is spread across supplier PDFs, spreadsheets nobody owns, ERP fields that were filled in once, email threads and a shared drive. Every new customer question means finding it again.

One source. Every product it actually covers.
One document. Every product it actually covers.
A datasheet does not belong to a SKU. It belongs to whatever it was written for — and that is usually a family, a type, or a supplier's whole range. Say what a document covers once, and the information it carries reaches exactly those products.

Nothing applies until a person says so
A suggested relationship is a proposal. It contributes nothing to any readiness figure, appears in no export and changes no product — until somebody confirms the document really does cover them.

When a document lapses, so does what it supported
Documents state their own validity. When that date passes, every value resting on it stops counting as settled — across every product it covers, at the same moment, without anyone having to notice.

Built for real catalogues.
Built for catalogues that are actually large.
A tool that works on one product and falls over at five hundred is a demonstration, not a product. These figures come from an automated scenario that runs against the real system on every build.
- 500
- Products imported from one file, with provenance on every value
- 120
- SKUs covered by a single confirmed document
- 1
- Review of a shared value, applied to every product beneath it
- 119
- Sibling SKUs left untouched when one records its own value
Tested scale scenario, not a customer outcome. 1781 has no customers to quote and does not present demonstrations as results.
Catalogue structure
Products the way your catalogue already thinks about them
Suppliers, product families, product types and SKUs. Information is recorded at the level it genuinely belongs to, which is why one datasheet can settle seven variants and why an override on one of them changes nothing about the other six.
- Import creates the hierarchy from your own columns
- A grouping stays marked as provisional until you confirm it
- Values live at supplier, family, type or SKU level

How it works
Import, map, review, reuse, export.
Five steps, in order, each of which a person can inspect and reverse. There is no stage where the system decides something on your behalf and moves on.
- 01
Import
Bring the catalogue in from a spreadsheet or an export. Confirm how its columns map, see a dry run of every row, and commit only when it reads correctly.
- 02
Map
Attach documents to the products they cover — one SKU, a product type, a whole family or a supplier. Suggestions are proposals; a person confirms them.
- 03
Review
Extracted values arrive as candidates with the passage they came from. Accept, edit or reject. Nothing counts until somebody does.
- 04
Reuse
An approved value is recorded once, at the level it belongs to, and inherited by every product beneath it — until a more specific value overrides it.
- 05
Export
Take the whole record out as structured data: every value with its scope, its source document, its approver and its open questions.
Construction products · first market
Declarations, datasheets and the products they were written for
Construction documentation is scattered by nature: a declaration of performance for a product type, a datasheet for a family, safety information somewhere else entirely. 1781 maps each to the products it covers, then shows what is still missing.
- Declarations, technical data, safety and environmental documentation
- Documents that cover many products, confirmed once
- Unanswered requirements listed as work, not hidden in a score

Declaration of Performance
Required by the requirement pack
Demonstration based on publicly available, draft and unverified product information. Harris ApS is not a customer, and no product has been legally assessed.
Many regulated markets. One evidence engine.
One evidence engine, several regulated markets.
Requirements differ by industry. The machinery underneath — coverage, inheritance, review, provenance, expiry — does not. Adding a market is a requirement pack and a profile, not a second product.
Construction products
First commercial marketDocumentation readiness for manufacturers, importers and distributors of construction products, built on the text of the current rules and on real product documentation.
- Declaration and marking documentation
- Declared technical characteristics
- Environmental declaration metadata and coverage
- Readiness for the forthcoming passport regime, reported separately
Batteries
Working prototypeEU Battery Passport data readiness on the same engine: the published data points, their applicability by battery category, and the same review and provenance model.
- Data points from the published guidance
- Applicability by battery category
- Conditional requirements decided by a person, never assumed
- Evidence expiry handled identically
Find the gaps before your customers do.
The useful part is what it refuses to guess.
Anything can store a value. What matters in product documentation is knowing which values you cannot yet stand behind, and why.
Evidence behind every value
Each approved value points at the document it came from, the passage that supports it, and the person who accepted it.
Gaps named as work
Missing information is listed as a specific next action against a specific product — not folded into a percentage that hides it.
Conflicts surfaced, never resolved
When two sources disagree, both are shown and the value stops counting as settled. The system does not pick a winner.
Expiry that propagates
A lapsed document invalidates what it supported everywhere it was used, at once, without anyone having to notice.
Reuse with a visible trail
An inherited value shows which level it came from, so you always know whether you are looking at this product’s answer or its family’s.
Human review as the gate
Machine suggestions are proposals. They wait, visibly, until a person accepts, edits or rejects them.
Who it is for
Three jobs, one underlying problem.
Whether you make the products, import them or resell them, the question a customer asks is the same: what can you prove about this item, and how quickly can you show me?
Manufacturers
You publish the documentation others rely on, and the same values are re-entered for every variant, every format and every customer request.
Record once at the level it belongs to, and let every SKU beneath inherit it.
Read moreImporters and distributors
Documentation arrives from many suppliers in many shapes, and it is rarely obvious which files cover which of the products you actually sell.
Map supplier files to the right products, and see exactly what is still outstanding.
Read moreCompliance and sustainability
You are asked to stand behind information you did not gather, from sources you cannot always trace, against requirements that keep moving.
Requirements mapped, evidence attached, review history kept — without a compliance verdict attached.
Read moreProduct principles
A number that can go down is worth more than one that only rises.
Uploading a document that reveals a contradiction lowers readiness. That is the behaviour, not a bug in it — a figure that only ever improved would turn uncertainty into confidence you have not earned.
We say what we have not read
Where a requirement comes from a standard we do not hold, it is labelled as derived from real product documentation rather than from the standard — on screen and in every export.
We do not determine your legal position
1781 records which role you hold in a supply chain and which requirements follow from it. Whether that is legally correct is a question for you and your advisers.
We never assume coverage
A document published by a supplier is not automatically a document about your product. 1781 proposes, explains its reasoning, and waits for a person.
Every value keeps its trail
Scope, source document, coverage decision, approver and timestamp travel with the value into the export.
Catalogue review
Start with one product family.
A catalogue review is a short conversation about your products and your documentation. We look at one representative family together and show you what is already there, what is missing and what could be reused. No obligation.
