The provider conversation starts before the buyer has fixed what must actually be delivered.
yellow3 structures the buyer requirement first, then tests providers against it.
Digital Product Passport Buyer Platform
Run your Digital Product Passport programme from one independent platform.
From strategy and readiness through provider selection, structured procurement, implementation and proof, yellow3 gives buyers one governed place to make, document and defend the decisions behind a Digital Product Passport programme.

The buying problem
A polished Digital Product Passport demo is not a defensible programme decision.
Buyers face developing regulation, uneven public evidence, supplier-data dependencies, contractual lock-in and long implementation chains. The risk is not only choosing the wrong provider. It is making a decision without an evidence record that survives scrutiny later.
Claims are not proof.
“Compliant”, “interoperable” and “registry-ready” can be assertions without an inspectable artifact behind them.
Exit risk is decided at entry.
Identifiers, exports, hosting, resolver continuity and data portability can become expensive constraints after signature.
What it is
A permanent buyer programme workspace, not a provider finder or consultancy report.
The programme state stays live: requirements, claims, evidence, provider responses, implementation records, decisions and immutable proof all remain connected. Reports are outputs. The maintained programme is the product.
Agents do the filling in
Buyer source material is ingested and structured. The buyer confirms, corrects and approves.
Evidence before recommendation
Provider fit is explained requirement by requirement, never reduced to a score.
Implementation stays governed
The selected provider performs the technical work. yellow3 records workstreams, gates, evidence and acceptance decisions.
Proof is preserved
Immutable snapshots record what was known, unresolved and approved on a date.
Inside the Buyer Platform
Five buying stages. One live evidence record.
Compare providers against evidence, never a score.
Mandatory requirements are tested against public evidence, search records and provider-supplied responses while each source remains visibly separate.
No composite score or paid ranking.
Not established never means capability absent.
Only a fresh written provider refusal can support exclusion.

Digital Product Passport procurement
Requirements first. Evidence requests second. Decision record last.
The Buyer Platform structures the buyer-side procurement evidence trail. It does not run an e-tender, award a contract or replace legal sign-off.
Fix the requirements
The buyer defines what the provider must deliver before comparing providers.
Request missing proof
Where public evidence is not enough, the buyer sends provider-specific evidence requests for the unresolved requirement.
Keep responses separate
Provider answers and private documents remain attributed to the provider and do not overwrite yellow3 independent findings.
Carry unresolved conditions
Open evidence items remain visible as procurement conditions instead of being converted into negative capability findings.
Compare providers under evaluation
The providers actually being evaluated are compared requirement by requirement, without a composite score or preferred-provider ranking.
Freeze the decision record
A Board Decision Snapshot preserves the provider population, evidence, unresolved conditions and decision state as they stood on the generation date.
Independence by design
What yellow3 found and what the provider says never become the same thing.
A provider response can change a buyer decision, but it never silently rewrites yellow3’s independent Supplier Register record.
yellow3 independent findings
Research the buyer can inspect
- Public documents, structured data and technical tests
- Dated search records when evidence is not established
- Evidence validity and revalidation dates
- Requirement-by-requirement findings without a score
Provider-supplied information
The provider’s own case
- Buyer-specific written responses
- Private technical and contractual evidence
- Commercial commitments and implementation assumptions
- Written confirmation when a requirement cannot be met
Locked rule: “Not established” means yellow3 looked and found no qualifying public evidence. It never means capability absent. Exclusion requires fresh provider-written confirmation for the buyer’s exact requirement context.
Built today
The platform already continues beyond provider identification.
Strategy, readiness, architecture, evidence-based selection, structured procurement, implementation and immutable decision snapshots are built. The remaining continuous controls and assembled audit output are being completed before public launch.
Strategy through procurement
The complete five-stage buyer journey is available in the live platform.
Implementation workspace
The selected provider does the technical work while yellow3 structures and records the programme, gates and evidence.
Immutable decision snapshots
Board Decision Snapshots freeze what was known, unresolved and approved on a date and can be printed or saved as PDF.
Next in the platform
The continuous controls that complete the A-to-Z subscription.
These modules are intentionally described in future tense until they are built, exported and verified. They will not be marketed as available before then.
Contract controls
Will structure clause requirements, provider positions, deviations, evidence and counsel review without replacing legal advice.
Regulatory record
Will maintain sourced regulatory instruments, versions and programme references without asserting legal applicability for the buyer.
Evidence health
Will show evidence currency, revalidation work and live drift while leaving historical snapshots unchanged.
Renewal review
Will surface factual market changes and newly demonstrated requirements without ranking providers or declaring a universal “better” supplier.
Audit packs
Will assemble the programme decision record, evidence references, approvals and audit trail into a distinct exportable proof package.
Planned modules remain clearly labelled until they are available in the live platform.
The board output
A decision frozen on evidence, not a dashboard screenshot.
The Board Decision Snapshot records exactly what was known on the generation date, which requirements remained unresolved and what the board was being asked to approve.
1
Immutable
Later evidence cannot rewrite the earlier record.
2
Reasoned
The recommendation never appears without its rationale.
3
Conditional
Unresolved items remain prominent because those are the approval conditions.
4
Printable
The record is designed for screen, A4 print and board-pack PDF.

What the platform does and does not do.
The platform is live. This page separates capabilities available today from modules planned next.
Yes. Programmes, users and provider engagements are enforced by the database on every insert, not by the interface. Product and category counts are not part of any plan, because the platform never holds products as records of its own.
Free includes one programme and the guided Digital Product Passport diagnostic. Programme-material ingestion, structured evidence extraction, provider engagement and Board Decision Snapshots require a paid plan.
No. yellow3 maintains sourced records, requirements and evidence. The buyer and its advisers remain responsible for legal conclusions and applicability decisions.
