24 checks to run before a product listing is approved
Manual checklist. Aisle has not crawled the page, verified the product, or checked current marketplace policy.

Product identity and scope
[ ] Exact product and variant are named — Model, size, color, quantity, bundle, and other variant-defining details match the item being sold.
[ ] Intended use is specific — The page explains what the product is for without extending the use case beyond supplied evidence.
[ ] Package contents are explicit — Every included item is listed, and prominent accessories that are not included are not implied by the media.
[ ] Important limitations are visible — Fit, environment, care, age, compatibility, or usage limits that affect the decision are not hidden.

Facts and evidence
[ ] Dimensions use one verified source — Measurements and units match across specifications, copy, diagrams, packaging, and image captions.
[ ] Materials are supportable — Material and construction statements can be traced to a specification, document, or responsible product owner.
[ ] Performance claims include conditions — Capacity, duration, strength, speed, accuracy, or protection claims name the relevant test or operating conditions.
[ ] Compatibility has a clear boundary — Compatible models, dimensions, standards, exclusions, and required adapters are stated precisely.

Buyer decision journey
[ ] Priority questions are answered early — The first blocks address the uncertainties most likely to affect fit, use, contents, or expectation setting.
[ ] Scale and fit can be evaluated — A buyer has measurements, a comparison reference, or another reliable way to assess real-world size.
[ ] Use and care are understandable — Setup, operation, cleaning, storage, and maintenance are explained where they affect the purchase decision.
[ ] Known expectation gaps are addressed — Relevant questions supplied from reviews or support are answered without implying that every buyer shares them.

Copy and claim control
[ ] Absolute claims have been removed or proved — Words such as best, perfect, guaranteed, universal, safest, or indestructible are not used without suitable evidence.
[ ] Numbers are consistent everywhere — The title, description, specifications, image text, and video brief do not present competing values.
[ ] Risky claims have safer alternatives — Each unsupported benefit or outcome is replaced with precise facts, bounded context, or a visible proof request.
[ ] Search wording does not reduce clarity — Keywords and category language remain readable, accurate, and appropriate for the current channel fields.

Images and video
[ ] The lead image matches the sold item — Product shape, color, variant, quantity, packaging, and included pieces agree with the real offer.
[ ] Every visual has one decision job — Each image or scene answers a distinct question instead of repeating decorative lifestyle views.
[ ] AI drafts were compared with the product — Geometry, labels, hardware, materials, colors, contents, and depicted operation were checked manually.
[ ] Motion does not stand in for testing — A generated or staged scene is not used as proof of strength, safety, speed, durability, or another measured result.

Publication handoff
[ ] Usage rights are recorded — The team has permission to use source photos, documents, trademarks, generated assets, and third-party material.
[ ] Current channel rules were checked — A responsible person verified category fields, image rules, prohibited claims, and other requirements in official sources.
[ ] Open issues have an owner and status — Every unresolved item is marked ready, needs input, or risk and assigned to a person who can close it.
[ ] Final approval is dated — A product owner reviewed the complete copy and media against the real item immediately before publication.
