Process & quality
Decisions become deliverables through visible gates.
The exact path varies by project. The discipline does not: clarify, develop, validate, control, verify and hand over.
Brief & feasibility review
Inputs: intent, drawings, location, quantities, programme and known site constraints.
Output: clarified scope, open questions and the proposed review path.
Design development
Resolve dimensions, structure, materials, finishes, illumination, access and interfaces.
Output: coordinated drawings and decision points.
Sample & prototype validation
Align appearance, light, scale, assembly and critical workmanship before volume production.
Output: approved reference or documented revision.
Production coordination
Release controlled information, manage approved changes and maintain reference consistency.
Output: traceable production package.
Quality verification
Check dimensions, finish, illumination, function, completeness and presentation against the reference.
Output: inspection evidence and release decisions.
Pack, ship & installation handover
Coordinate protection, identification, packing sequence, shipment information and install guidance.
Output: site-ready handover information.

Evidence, not theatre
A quality gate should answer a decision.
What was checked? Against which approved reference? Who reviewed the result? What changed before release? Real records will only be published when their use is authorized.
