Define the workflow learning job
Treat “colour grind” as a search job to investigate, not as proof that a SEELE feature exists. First turn the query into a repeatable sequence with explicit inputs, review points, and a reversible handoff. Write the intended audience, source owner, desired change, protected details, reviewer, and delivery condition before selecting any interface or model. That brief keeps the evaluation specific and makes an unsupported assumption visible early. For the working record, preserve the handoff draft, and ask the claims reviewer to record visible continuity before the source comparison.

Prepare inputs for visual creation tools
For this topic, assemble a clear creative job, authorized references, required controls, reviewer expectations, budget context, and delivery format. Record where each source came from, who may use it, and what must remain unchanged. Use a small representative asset for the first pass, keep the original untouched, and define a fallback route so experimentation cannot silently become the production master. For the working record, preserve the delivery checklist, and ask the rights reviewer to record identity consent before the controlled revision.
- Confirm ownership, consent, and allowed reuse While evidence is current, preserve the review copy, and ask the production lead to record camera logic before the source comparison.
- Preserve an untouched source and version history While evidence is current, preserve the test fixture, and ask the accessibility reviewer to record disclosure clarity before the source comparison.
- Name the reviewer and acceptance condition While evidence is current, preserve the source ledger, and ask the continuity editor to record visible continuity before the source comparison.

Test observable controls for colour grind
A bounded evaluation should inspect input support, controllability, source fidelity, revision behavior, governance, collaboration, and handoff readiness. Change one meaningful variable at a time and record the date, workspace, account context, input, setting, result, and failure. Topic selection can prioritize the question, but it does not establish availability, quality, speed, licensing, or a supported SEELE workflow. While evidence is current, preserve the decision history, and ask the rights reviewer to record control availability before the source comparison.

Review evidence, safety, and policy boundaries
Third-party names, pricing, features, access, and specifications require current dated first-party verification. Use only authorized media, separate observed behavior from marketing language, and check current first-party documentation for any product-specific claim. For third-party products, competitors, plans, models, and platform rules, attach a verification date and primary source; an absent statement is an evidence gap rather than proof of a limitation. For a controlled test, preserve the claim inventory, and ask the brand reviewer to record failure conditions before the production checkpoint.

Approve a reversible production handoff
Before advancing “colour grind”, use a matched test asset, record the date and account context, separate observations from claims, and document tradeoffs. Document remaining manual work, unresolved evidence, destination requirements, and the person accepting the result. The handoff should preserve sources and test notes, allow correction, and avoid promises about output quality, turnaround, business performance, publishing, or access that the evidence does not support. At the next gate, preserve the claim inventory, and ask the delivery owner to record destination fit before the reversible handoff.
