Describe one use context
Choose a shelf label, a journal fragment or a small photo keepsake. Include the object, surface or page it will meet. A focused scene is easier to evaluate than an undefined all-purpose product.
A better first sample
A useful sample brief makes the unknowns visible. Describe the intended output and the decision a sample should help you make.
Separate requirements from preferences
Write down what must work, what would be nice to have and what remains open. A preferred finish is not evidence of material or process suitability.
Set the review questions
Name the media, host route, power role and expected output. Add the interrupted states you want to see, such as a cancelled job or media reload.
Define what comes next
Agree who reviews a physical sample, what record is kept and which changes lead to another sample revision. Commercial approval should follow evidence.
