What the Pilot Pack includes

GS1 QR asset creation

Generate a conservative set of branded, scan-safe GS1 QR variants around the pilot GTIN scope.

Shared-domain resolver setup

Create the pilot resources, default links, and resolver context without waiting on custom DNS.

Verification evidence

Capture warnings, scan-safety checks, remediation notes, and the promoted release candidate.

Analytics baseline

Establish the first resolver analytics view so post-launch behavior has a known starting point.

Delivery sequence

01

Scope the pilot

Confirm GTIN range, timeline, packaging constraints, resolver destination, owner, and signoff criteria.

02

Build the pilot packet

Create QR variants, resolver defaults, verification evidence, and the first analytics baseline.

03

Hand off the decision

Deliver one promoted asset, one evidence packet, and a go/no-go memo that explains the next rollout step.

Scope guardrails

Included: 3-10 GTINs, 1-3 QR variants, shared-domain resolver setup, one verification/evidence packet, one analytics baseline, and one decision memo.
Deferred: custom domain rollout, bulk migration, multi-market governance, enterprise SLA, and deep PIM/DAM/PLM integrations.
Upgrade trigger: move to GS1 Growth only when the account needs custom domains, higher limits, bulk import, scheduled exports, or governed rollout controls.

Production review posture

Use the GS1 production workflow

The Pilot Pack keeps GS1 Digital Link QR asset creation, resolver setup, verification notes, and decision records in one scoped workflow.

Treat decoration as scanner risk

Logo overlays, pixel inversion, and weak color choices are treated as scanner-risk topics, not brand preference alone.

Prefer conservative output first

Logo-free, dark-on-light variants are valid baseline candidates when packaging or retail scan risk is high.

Use evidence before rollout

The release candidate should travel with verification, resolver, and analytics context before a broader packaging rollout.
