One interesting use case to me would be cataloguing features of an item you own. When you are dealing with insurance, they will reimburse you for a product of like kind and quality. For example, if you have an older consumer stand mixer that uses metal gearing instead of plastic gears (like lots of modern consumer stand mixers), then they might be forced to give you a check to buy a commercial stand mixer that does have metal gears. Adding more features typically means you will get a better payout to replace it - you get Venn diagrams of functionality that only an expensive replacement will fully cover.
I'd love to put in a product code and import functionalities of that product. The data integrity and seeding might be tricky to pull off, but it'd become extremely valuable for anyone going through insurance.
This is a very interesting use case I hadn't considered. I think seeding and getting a working database of these types of attributes would be an incredibly large task, but I definitely see the value in being as specific as possible here. This may be a good opportunity for some user education on how to document their belongings, what types of attributes to note, etc. I'll keep thinking on this, thanks for your feedback.
this can be something where SaaS model works in your favor. Allow people to manually input qualities for an item, and then when someone else inputs the same product code it suggests those qualities to them
this way you can build a community consensus on top of whatever youre able to data-mine
