Person deciding and date:
Recheck after size, material, name or supplier changes.
Pass only when required uses have readable name layouts, accepted proofs,
suitable delivered files, and resolved rights questions.
On failure: simplify the design or request another layout or file.
Repeat affected proofs. Keep production on hold for open rights questions.

WORKED EXAMPLE (HYPOTHETICAL)
Harborline Mobile Detail is an unsearched example name.
No availability, legal clearance or actual design test is claimed.
Services: maintenance washes and interior cleaning.
First uses: booking-page header, invoice header, business card.
Vehicle graphics: deferred.
Direction: name in clear lettering; compare an optional simple symbol.
Backgrounds: white page/invoice; dark uniform planned later.
Variants: full name, single-color and reversed versions.
Compact symbol: only if selected; keep full name elsewhere in profile.
Files: editable master, vector export, transparent PNG, reference PDF,
color values, font details and agreed rights. Obtain supplier specifications.
Acceptance: actual-size card and invoice proofs show the full name clearly.
Hypothetical review: a badge loses its small service line on the card.
The name-only concept remains readable. Request a revised badge and compare
it with the name-only version at the same size.
Decision: HOLD. Name and rights checks remain open.
Complete those checks and accepted proofs, then record the approved version.
