Why teams outgrow spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are easy to start and hard to maintain at scale. When release pressure increases, data drift and duplicate edits appear quickly.
Migration path for v1
- Define target schema and required fields.
- Clean naming and categories before import.
- Import in controlled batches and validate errors.
- Assign ownership for ongoing taxonomy updates.
Keep reporting flexible
A centralized tool should still support exports. JSON and Excel export keep analytics and partner workflows unblocked.
Practical outcome
You gain searchable records, clearer accountability, and safer releases without adding heavy process overhead.
