Decision checklist: can your two brands share one platform?

Pick one answer per question for the two brands you are weighing up. The score and its reading update as you go. It takes about 15 minutes and works best with one person from marketing and one from IT in the room.

How the score works

Seven questions, each worth 0 to 2 points, 14 in total. Two of them can override the total: data obligations is a hard stop, and a planned divestment changes what you build even if the score says one platform.

Fill it in below. Your result updates as you go.

01Catalogue overlap

How much of what the two brands sell is the same kind of product underneath?

02Editorial independence

Who will write and publish for each brand?

03Commerce model

How do the two brands sell?

04Data obligations

Can customer and order data for both brands lawfully sit in one system?

05Divestment plans

Is there any plan or live discussion to sell or spin out either brand?

06Design distance

How different do the two brands need to look and behave?

07Release cadence

How often does each brand need changes shipped?

If divestment scored 0. One platform is still possible, but write the exit plan now: which documents, media, domains and integrations leave with the brand, in what format, and who runs the export.

A platform assessment for groups running more than one brand.

We look at your content model, your domains and your editorial setup and tell you whether one platform would hold, and where it would not.
