GUIDE
The order the questions are worth asking in.
This is the sequence a pet-goods programme follows when it goes well, and the point at which each step becomes expensive to revisit.
- 1 · The animal
- Weight and posture, because a rim leans or it does not
- 2 · The behaviour
- Because leaning, scratching, pushing and chewing choose materials
- 3 · The wash
- Temperature, cycle, drying, and how many cycles before the check
- 4 · The recovery
- What the part measures after those cycles
- 5 · The materials
- Grade and weight, with the certificate that travels
- 6 · The bowl
- Tip angle and foot adhesion, on a stated surface
- 7 · The quantity
- And the split across sizes and colours
- 8 · The inspection
- Rim recovery and quilt migration, after the wash
Why the order matters.
Each step constrains the next. Choosing a material before the behaviour is choosing an abrasion life for a use nobody has named, and choosing a fill before the wash regime is choosing a recovery for a condition nobody has defined.
Where programmes usually go wrong.
Step one, treated as a size, and step three, left at a temperature without a count. Both are cheap to settle and expensive to discover once a run is made.
