A useful estimate begins after the team has named the workflow, the exceptions, the dependencies, and the line that defines the first release.
Field notes · Authored process guidance
Production notes built around decisions, checks, assumptions, and known limits—not invented clients, generic trend summaries, or keyword padding.
A useful estimate begins after the team has named the workflow, the exceptions, the dependencies, and the line that defines the first release.
A reliable handoff leaves the next operator with control, context, recovery paths, and a clear account of what is actually running.
The useful test is not whether an asset looks correct in its authoring scene, but whether it imports predictably into the agreed engine version and target workflow.
