Free readiness assessment
Find out if your products can still be sold in Europe after 2027
New EU rules mean every product you sell will need a verifiable record of what it's made of and how it was made. We check what you already hold, show you what's missing, and score how ready you are. It's free, takes about 90 minutes of your time, and you get a written report in ten working days.
Start your free assessment →We take on a limited number of free assessments each month so each one gets a proper read.
Our Digital Product Passport code was accepted by the EU registry on the day it opened — 20 July 2026.

How it works
Three steps. Nothing to install, no consultants on site.
1
You answer a structured questionnaire
About 90 minutes of your time, plus a few existing documents — supplier lists, product specs, any compliance work already underway.
2
We score your answers
Assessed against ESPR, the Digital Product Passport rules and the other regulations that apply to your categories and markets.
3
You get the report and a debrief
Within ten working days of receiving your answers.
What you get back
Three things, all yours to keep whether or not you work with us afterwards.
01
A scored readiness report
Your brand rated red, amber or green across eight readiness domains, drawn from our register of 800+ product data fields. You see exactly which data you hold, which you don't, and which gaps carry legal risk.
02
A board-ready summary
One page your board can act on: which product categories are exposed, what has to be in place by which deadline, and what it costs you to wait.
03
A 30-minute debrief call
We walk you through the findings, the three things to fix first, and what a realistic plan looks like from here. No obligation to buy anything.
What the report looks like
A scorecard, not a slide deck
Every domain is rated red, amber or green, with the evidence we could and couldn't find behind each rating. You can hand the summary page to your board without translating it first.
Illustrative example. Your report uses your own categories, markets and data.
Who we've worked with
Who reads your answers
Every assessment is scored and reviewed by Lavinia Fernandes, who has spent her career on product data, supply chain evidence and environmental regulation in fashion and textiles. You get a specialist read, not a templated output.

The START Framework
Your answers are scored across eight readiness domains, grouped under the five layers of our START framework — Standards, Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility and Transition. The report tells you which layer is holding you back.
Transition
Transition turns readiness into action. This layer covers adoption strategy, stakeholder engagement, training, and capability building so organisations can implement change with confidence.
Responsibility
Responsibility defines who owns what across the value chain. This layer covers policy advisory, EPR architecture, and governance that can hold up under scrutiny.
Accountability
Accountability makes the system testable. This layer covers MRV, product-level evidence, and auditable impact measurement so organisations can prove what they say.
Transparency
Transparency makes the system visible. This layer covers Digital Product Passport strategy, data architecture, and the product identity needed to connect regulation, product design, and downstream recovery.
Standards
We begin with standards because systems need a clear rulebook before they can be built. This layer covers regulatory gap analysis, product and category prioritisation, and the standards that shape ESPR readiness.

Who it's for
Sustainability, compliance and product leaders at fashion, footwear and textile brands that sell into the EU or UK — whether you're starting from zero or checking work already underway. The assessment is free and there is no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
