CatalogPilot™

Technical Architecture & Due Diligence

For IT, Platform Support, and Agency Review

Purpose of This Document

This document explains how CatalogPilot works, what risks it deliberately avoids, and why its architecture is safe, reversible, and enterprise-grade.

It is intended for:

• Internal IT and security teams
• Platform support engineers (Lightspeed, Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce)
• Third-party agencies and technical consultants
• Architecture and compliance reviewers

This document avoids marketing language.

All statements describe engineering behavior, not promotional claims.

1. What CatalogPilot Is — and Is Not

What CatalogPilot Is

CatalogPilot is an external catalog intelligence layer that:

• Reads catalog data via official, read-only platform

How is CatalogPilot different from SEO apps or optimization tools?

Most SEO tools modify content inside your platform or apply rules that directly change your pages.

CatalogPilot operates as a separate catalog intelligence layer. It enriches, structures, and validates your product data independently, then delivers that intelligence back to your storefront in real time, without altering your original catalog.

This separation is what allows CatalogPilot to be safer, more reversible, and more resilient than traditional tools.

Why does CatalogPilot take a staged, review-first approach?

CatalogPilot is designed to prioritize accuracy and control, not speed at all costs.

Every enrichment goes

Most tools generate content in isolation.

CatalogPilot treats your catalog as a living system, structured, accessible, multilingual, and continuously aligned, and delivers that intelligence back to your storefront without disrupting your workflow.

It’s not a plugin.

It’s infrastructure.

No.

CatalogPilot only treats variants as independent entities when the platform exposes them as crawlable pages.

When variants are consolidated under a single canonical product page, variant data is safely folded into the main product entity.

Because they serve different purposes:

• Products define the core item
• Variants define option-level differences
• Images require accessibility and descriptive analysis
• Categories define structure and discoverability

CatalogPilot enriches each independently to ensure correctness, accessibility, and platform compatibility.

No.

CatalogPilot never overwrites your original catalog data. Your product information remains unchanged inside your platform.

If CatalogPilot is disabled, your storefront immediately falls back to its original content with no cleanup or rollback required.

CatalogPilot uses a lightweight delivery trigger that activates when a page loads.

This trigger injects enriched catalog intelligence, such as structured content, accessibility metadata, schema, and language-specific data, into the page safely and reversibly.

No server files are modified, and nothing is permanently written into your platform.

Yes.

CatalogPilot allows you to:

• choose how many products to enrich
• see estimated costs before starting
• enrich incrementally in batches
• enable or disable individual enrichment types
• approve content before publishing

Nothing runs automatically unless you choose it.

Nothing breaks.

Your original catalog remains unchanged in your platform. CatalogPilot does not lock you in or require cleanup if you leave.

You can disable delivery instantly and continue operating as before.

Flat fees hide complexity and shift risk onto merchants.

CatalogPilot’s pricing is designed to be predictable, auditable, and aligned with how real catalogs work.

You pay only for what you enrich.

Variant enrichment improves the accuracy and completeness of the product as a whole.

Even when variants share a single indexable page, CatalogPilot structures size, color, fit, pricing, and availability at the variant level to improve:

• feed accuracy
• accessibility
• AI discovery
• future platform readiness

This is done without creating duplicate pages or SEO risk.

CatalogPilot prices enrichment by catalog components, not by opaque bundles.

Products, variants, images, and categories are different data objects that require different analysis and enrichment. Pricing reflects the actual work performed on each component.

This ensures:

• transparent, usage-based pricing
• no hidden charges
• no payment for work that isn’t done

Yes.

CatalogPilot includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, and all delivery features can be enabled or disabled instantly.

You can review exactly what will change before committing.

CatalogPilot currently supports:

• Lightspeed (C-Series)
• WooCommerce

Support for Shopify is in development.

Yes.

CatalogPilot does not process payments, handle card data, or interfere with checkout flows. It operates outside transactional systems.

It supports trust and compliance best practices by ensuring your storefront presents clear business identity, ownership, and policy information in a structured, machine-readable way.

CatalogPilot generates accessibility-focused product structures, including descriptive image alt text, readable content hierarchy, and assistive-technology-friendly metadata.

This helps align your catalog with modern ADA and WCAG expectations while improving usability for all shoppers.

Yes.

CatalogPilot can enrich your catalog in your primary language and deliver translated versions for additional languages you enable.

This allows your products to be discoverable and accessible in multiple markets without duplicating effort or risking SEO issues.

Yes.

CatalogPilot gives you full control. You can:

• review enriched content before approval
• enable or disable individual enrichment features
• enrich in batches
• publish incrementally
• roll back changes instantly

Nothing is forced and nothing goes live without your approval.

Most eCommerce themes display a product title followed by a block of text with no structure.

CatalogPilot introduces meaningful heading hierarchy so shoppers can scan content quickly and search engines can better understand product relevance and intent.

These headings can be enabled or disabled at any time.

CatalogPilot enriches all critical components of a modern product catalog, including:

• Product titles and descriptions
• Structured headings (H1, H2, H3)
• Variants and option-level data
• Categories and product relationships
• Images, alt text, and accessibility metadata
• SEO metadata (titles, descriptions, social sharing)
• Schema and structured data
• Language-specific content (where enabled)
• Trust, identity, and compliance signals

Each component is enriched independently and delivered in a controlled, reviewable way.
