Define the tool job and source contract
For Xmas Card Generator, specify the material entering the workflow, the transformation expected within general video generation, and the deliverable leaving it. Keep generation, editing, publishing, and measurement as separate responsibilities. For this section 1, save a versioned handoff; have the fact checker review input fidelity; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a source-preserving edit until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- Name required input rights and formats — record frame review, visual lead, motion coherence, and workflow decision; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- List controls that must be directly observable — record annotated source board, product specialist, visual hierarchy, and workflow decision; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- Define a reversible review handoff — record test worksheet, brand reviewer, temporal stability, and workflow decision; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.

Compare against a stable acceptance frame
Use the same inputs, review dimensions, and stopping rules for every candidate. Record tradeoffs separately from availability so a promising test is not mistaken for verified product support. For this section 2, save a asset ledger; have the visual lead review licensing; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a source-preserving edit until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- 03
Run a bounded tool test
Use one representative asset and a fixed brief. Observe what the interface actually accepts, which controls affect the result, how revisions behave, and what must still be completed elsewhere. Record failures as carefully as successes. For this section 3, save a decision memo; have the motion designer review motion coherence; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a source-preserving edit until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- 04
Select on workflow fit, not implied automation
Compare review effort, controllability, source fidelity, rights handling, and export readiness. A useful planning page does not upload media, invoke a model, or manufacture a result merely because the query contains the word tool. For this section 4, save a acceptance matrix; have the motion designer review visual hierarchy; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a shot approval until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- 05
Keep the evidence ledger attached to the decision
Partial evidence was supplied, but it does not establish product support or a complete capability, customer, or performance claim. Record the source, verification date, claim scope, unresolved gap, and the decision that the evidence can support. Search demand must never be reused as capability proof. For this section 5, save a camera plan; have the brand reviewer review camera intent; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a source-preserving edit until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- 06
Build a specific test brief for xmas card generator
Start with a rights-cleared representative source and a written acceptance brief. Define one observable change, protected details, a stopping rule, and the named reviewer. The intended output is a reviewable visual-production brief and evidence-aware handoff. Test one variable per version, preserve the source and settings, and compare results at the actual delivery size instead of choosing from an unrecorded impression. For this topic test, save a frame review; have the fact checker review visual hierarchy; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a shot approval until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- Primary query: xmas card generator; test record: versioned handoff, fact checker, licensing, and versioned review; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- Editorial owner: keyword-expansion:0009; decision record: versioned handoff, rights reviewer, revision control, and rights-cleared draft; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
- Source scope: a user-provided competitor-gap export dated 2026-08-05 supports topic prioritization only; source review: continuity sheet, motion designer, input fidelity, and production checkpoint; keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.

Separate topic fit from product proof
A dated, user-provided competitor-gap export supports only the decision to cover “xmas card generator.” It does not prove audience demand, SEELE capability, third-party behavior, commercial value, or a likely outcome. Verify product-specific statements against current first-party documentation and a recorded representative test. For this source review, save a rights record; have the visual lead review camera intent; record the failed case as well as the accepted one; and do not advance it beyond a release review until the named limitation is resolved. Keep generator evidence separate from xmas assumptions.
