Product journey hub

Read-only guided journey

Product Journey Hub safety boundary

This hub orients product work and links to owning modules. It does not run supplier calls, provider calls, payments, inventory changes, or live commerce-store publication.

Read-only hubLinks onlyNo live integrationsNo irreversible actions

Route actions are links or disabled explanations only. Owning modules remain the source of truth for records, evidence, approvals, and fake/local previews.

Goal

Bring a product into a commerce store safely.

Current packet

No product or work packet is selected yet. Start from an idea or reviewed supplier catalogue evidence.

Lifecycle summary

Choose a source path first. 14 journey steps remain locked until source evidence and research prerequisites are explicit.

No product or work packet is selected yet. Start from an idea or reviewed supplier catalogue evidence.

Idea-led source path

Custom from idea

Start when the product begins as a concept, mood board, sketch, fit idea, or custom design direction.

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: an idea or concept that can anchor later research, design, sample, and approval work.
Safe first action: Safe first action: Capture or choose an idea before opening custom design work.
Why this is next: custom products need concept context first so later research, tech packs, samples, and approvals stay tied to the original product intent.
What happens after this: research can be captured for the concept; then Custom Design can carry the idea into tech-pack/sample readiness before Product Pipeline.
Route detail: Ideas owns concept capture; Custom Design remains locked until an idea/concept exists.

Open ideas

Catalogue-led source path

Supplier catalogue product

Start when the product comes from supplier catalogue release/review/selection evidence or catalogue promotion handoff.

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: supplier catalogue evidence that can be reviewed before research or Product Pipeline scoring.
Safe first action: Safe first action: open catalogue evidence and review/select the supplier item before Product Pipeline.
Why this is next: supplier products need reviewed catalogue evidence so manufacturer-provided facts, uncertainty, and provenance remain visible before research/scoring.
What happens after this: research can be captured for the selected item; then a promotion preview/handoff can feed Product Pipeline when evidence is ready.
Route detail: Catalogue review owns item evidence; Product Pipeline remains locked until selection and research evidence exist.

Next safe action

Recommended next safe action

Start or choose a product journey by selecting either a custom idea path or a supplier catalogue evidence path. The hub stays read-only while the owning route captures the first safe record.

Why this is next: No product packet is selected yet, so choosing the source path is the first decision before custom idea or supplier catalogue guidance can be trusted. This makes the next step safe and necessary before later launch-path work depends on it.
What happens after this: Choosing a path opens the owning route. Once concept or catalogue evidence exists, the hub can guide research and Product Pipeline prerequisites without inventing a product story. Completing it can unlock the next route-owned dependency when prerequisites are explicit.
Safety qualifier: Source cards are navigation links only; this hub does not create records, call suppliers, mutate inventory, or publish to a store. No live supplier, payment, inventory, or store action runs from this hub.

Why this is next

Idea / concept has no selected route-owned evidence yet, so the hub keeps this path informational until a source path is chosen. This makes the next step safe and necessary before later launch-path work depends on it.

What happens after this

After the source path is chosen, the hub can recommend the first evidence or research dependency in order. Completing it can unlock the next route-owned dependency when prerequisites are explicit.

Safety qualifier

Empty steps are orientation only; opening the route is a read-only navigation action from this hub. No live supplier, payment, inventory, or store action runs from this hub.
