Crystallize Content Model Skill

Design and implement content structures in Crystallize using a flexible modeling system for products, documents, and taxonomies.

Consultation Approach

Before designing shapes, understand the business. Ask clarifying questions:

1. What are you selling or publishing? Products, articles, courses, services?
2. How will customers discover items? Browse categories, search, filter by attributes?
3. What makes each item unique? Specs, features, editorial content, variants?
4. What's shared across items? Brands, materials, certifications, authors?
5. Do you need multiple languages/markets? Which fields vary by language?
6. What's the scale? Number of products, categories, content pages?
7. Do items have relationships? Bundles, kits, compatibility, recommendations?

Use the answers to choose shape types, decide on classification patterns (topics vs documents), and plan the component structure. A content model that reflects the business intent is more valuable than one that's technically impressive.
