THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Use process media to understand visible activities and identify follow-up questions. Match the footage to the product family where possible. A sewing film supports a textile discussion but does not establish cat tree production, capacity or passed inspections.
The decision behind the detail.
Media provides context, while product-specific records answer different questions. Keep those evidence types separate.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Visible activities
- List the processes shown in the supplied media.
- Product relevance
- Connect each activity to the family under review.
- Follow-up evidence
- Record information the footage cannot establish.
Check together
- Avoid inferring capacity from the number of machines shown.
- Request model-specific evidence for different families.
- Keep styling scenes distinct from production records.
