Design and Distribution Obligations (High-Level)

WeatherIt operates under Australia's Design and Distribution Obligations (DDO) framework—a regulatory requirement that ensures products reach appropriate customers.

Product design	Products are created for a specific target market
Target market	Defined group of customers the product suits
Distribution monitoring	Checking that distribution matches the design
Feedback loops	Using complaints and data to improve

What DDO Means for Partners

Partner Translation
DDO requirements translate into practical expectations for how you offer WeatherIt.

DDO Requirement	Partner Action
Target market alignment	Offer WeatherIt where it makes sense
Appropriate distribution	Don't force it where it doesn't fit
Issue identification	Escalate when patterns emerge
