Platform
The workflow Northstar owns every month
Northstar is intentionally narrow. It gives the merchant one operating layer between Shopify, product evidence, official alerts, and the internal decision trail.
Catalog
Shopify products become product workspaces
Northstar pulls real product and variant records into a view the operator can actually use. That means product titles, SKUs, variants, supplier context, and jurisdiction notes stay attached to the same record.
Evidence
Current, missing, or needs review
Each product gets a plain-language checklist so a merchant can quickly see whether a document is on file, stale, or still missing.
Alerts
Official notices with practical match review
Northstar ingests official safety or recall signals and links them to likely catalog products with a confidence score and human-readable rationale.
Cases
Investigations stay explainable
When a product-alert pair matters, Northstar stores the owner, decision, notes, source links, and action trail in one investigation record.
What the operator sees
Labels and next steps written for normal people
Readiness score
A simple way to show how much of a product's required evidence is current right now.
Possible match
A product-alert overlap that still needs a human to confirm or dismiss.
Investigation
The case record that holds the written internal trail once a match matters enough to act on.
