Verify the question and evidence

Read the decision statement without looking at the board. Confirm the audience, fixed constraints, exclusions, and approval owner. Then check that each evidence group supports a real variable such as light, material, type, color, behavior, or sequence.

Verify editing and communication

Remove repeated images and decorative tangents. Test the board at thumbnail and presentation size. Use readable labels, descriptions for meaningful images, and cues that do not rely on color alone. Record where every retained reference came from.

Verify validation and handoff

List claims that require samples, measurements, prototypes, rights checks, availability, cost, or user feedback. Save the approved version with a date, rationale, exclusions, open questions, and owners. Inspiration is not automatic permission for final use.

Approving an interior direction

The board passes hierarchy and source checks but fails material validation because the main stone appears only in a screen image. Approval is conditional on a physical sample beside the existing floor under morning and evening light.

Practical checklist for this decision

  • The board answers one named decision.
  • Every image adds distinct evidence.
  • High-risk claims have external checks.
  • The final record names owners and dates.
