Ungated self-assessment

The Building-Product Evidence Checklist

Use this to assess one product family before an architect or engineer does. It covers the same evidence categories FlatAEC uses in a Spec Audit.

Score one family: Yes, Partial, or No.

  1. 01

    Product identity and variants

    Is family, model, and variant naming unambiguous across every page and document?

    YesPartialNo
  2. 02

    Applications and exclusions

    Does the page state where the product should and should not be used?

    YesPartialNo
  3. 03

    Visible performance facts

    Are performance values stated on the page, not buried only in a PDF?

    YesPartialNo
  4. 04

    Current test and certification references

    Are standards, listings, and certifications current and traceable to an issuer?

    YesPartialNo
  5. 05

    Sustainability evidence

    Are EPDs, HPDs, and material claims current, sourced, and consistent?

    YesPartialNo
  6. 06

    Installation and compatibility

    Can a researcher find installation guidance and assembly-compatibility limits?

    YesPartialNo
  7. 07

    Specification, BIM, CAD, and detail resources

    Can a specifier reach the correct current file without hunting?

    YesPartialNo
  8. 08

    Case and application evidence

    Are relevant use cases available, specific, and dated?

    YesPartialNo
  9. 09

    Representative and technical-support path

    Is the right contact obvious for a technical question or sample?

    YesPartialNo
  10. 10

    Internal links and canonicalization

    Do related pages and documents connect without duplicate or conflicting versions?

    YesPartialNo
  11. 11

    Structured data matching visible content

    Does structured data match what the page visibly states, with nothing overstated?

    YesPartialNo
  12. 12

    Document dates and versioning

    Does every technical document show an effective date or version, with the current one obvious?

    YesPartialNo
  13. 13

    Qualified analytics events

    Can you distinguish casual traffic from a specification download or technical inquiry?

    YesPartialNo

How to use the result.

Review one product family with your marketing and technical owners. Any item marked Partial or No is a candidate finding. Before changing the page, identify the exact source, scope, owner, and review status behind the affected evidence.
