THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
State the decision the sample must support: appearance, measurement, construction, packing or another specific review. Identify what it cannot yet confirm. This keeps a first visual prototype from being mistaken for complete production approval.
The decision behind the detail.
One sample may answer several questions, but different materials or sizes can leave gaps. Record those limitations beside the result.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Review purpose
- Name the decisions this sample should support.
- Sample scope
- List materials, size and details included.
- Remaining gaps
- Record questions this version cannot answer.
Check together
- Check the received sample matches the requested purpose.
- Separate appearance approval from other assessments.
- Define the next step for unresolved questions.
