# Product family and sellable-variant audit
## Family to inspect
- Family reference and current source revision: [ ]
- Current public name and approved source: [ ]
- Person who owns the source product facts: [ ]
- Storage location of approved specification and photographs: [ ]
## What makes a distinct item?
List only attributes that change the physical item, required fulfillment, or a separately managed sellable choice. Keep merchandising copy and search keywords out of the SKU unless a local documented system requires them.
| Existing listing or record | Candidate variant reference | Buyer-selectable attributes | Physical specification source | Pick/pack difference | Identity verified by / date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [ ] | [ ] | [size, finish, bundle, etc.] | [approved reference] | [observable difference] | [ ] |
## Reconcile the catalog before naming
- Source exports and date captured: [ ]
- Stable source-row reference for each record: [ ]
- Duplicate titles or identifiers found: [ ]
- Evidence that resolves each ambiguity: [ ]
- Unresolved rows and owner: [ ]
Do not merge similar-looking records until the real product, dimensions, configuration, and source evidence agree. Keep unresolved records on hold.
