Advisory · yellow3 lab
Independent research applied to consequential decisions.

Bring the evidence into the room.

Technology can carry more of the work. Some decisions still need people who can challenge the evidence, make the trade-offs visible and stay independent of the outcome.

Not time. A decision that can survive scrutiny.
01

Research before the room.

02

Judgment in the room.

03

A written record after.

Digital Product Passports

For organisations that want a human-led route through the Digital Product Passport programme.

Some buyers want to run the work themselves. Others want yellow3 directly involved when requirements, provider evidence, implementation choices and acceptance decisions need independent judgment.

Human in the loop. Not another implementation team.

yellow3 works on the buyer side. We help structure the decision, challenge evidence, support the buying and implementation process, and keep the record defensible. The selected provider still operates the Digital Product Passport.

Where we step in
  • Scope and requirement decisions.
  • Provider evidence and shortlist challenge.
  • Material implementation choices and exceptions.
  • Independent review before acceptance.
What this is not
  • Permanent onsite support.
  • Routine project management.
  • Digital Product Passport operation or publication.
  • A vendor-funded recommendation.

For companies outside the EU
yellow3 EU Desk · Live

Sell into Europe without becoming an expert in EU product rules.

EU Desk is for companies outside the European Union that sell products into Europe. Tell us what you sell and we help establish which requirements may reach your products, when they apply, what evidence is needed and what to prepare next.

01
Start with your products.

Your first sourced Product Exposure Report shows the relevant rules, dates, open questions and official sources our maintained record can establish.

02
Establish the company position.

EU Desk Establish turns the first report into a documented position covering requirements, roles, evidence gaps, suppliers and next actions.

03
Stay current.

We follow the legislation, standards, official guidance and product timelines, then tell you what changed and what it means for your products.

Your first Product Exposure Report is free with a verified company email. EU Desk Establish is €4,900 for one product group and creates the company-specific operating record. Stay Current starts at €590 per month.

Independence

Sometimes the useful answer is: do not proceed yet.

Advisory is useful only if yellow3 is free to challenge the fashionable answer, the vendor answer and, when necessary, the client's preferred answer.

No vendor agenda.

Technology recommendations are not paid placement.

No implementation dependency.

The advice does not need to manufacture a follow-on delivery project for yellow3.

No purchased conclusion.

Clients buy access to research and judgment, never control over the conclusion.

Why yellow3

The evidence is not borrowed for the meeting.

yellow3 researches emerging technology continuously and builds around the problems it studies. Advisory applies that evidence discipline to a client's decision without turning the research into a sales pitch.

Start with the situation

Tell us where human judgment is needed.

Bring the decision, the people accountable for it, when it has to be made and what is already known. We will tell you whether yellow3 is useful and what a bounded engagement should look like.

01The decision or programme
02Who is responsible
03When it has to be decided
04What is already known
Boundary

Advisory is research and human judgment applied to consequential decisions. yellow3 is not a law firm, conformity assessment body, Digital Product Passport operator or embedded implementation team. Humans remain responsible for the outcome.
