Human approval gate
A product owner and creative reviewer approve factual representation, retouching boundaries, visual quality, rights, and channel disclosure.
The workflow
Every step includes a check that can stop the process before risk moves downstream.
- 01
Define the permitted edit
State exactly what may change and which product, label, color, shape, or packaging details must remain.
Gate: The product owner approves the edit boundary. - 02
Verify source rights
Confirm permission for the original, references, logos, people, and destination channel.
Gate: Missing rights block processing. - 03
Create a non-destructive version
Work from a copy and retain the prompt, masks, references, settings, and intermediate files.
Gate: The untouched original remains recoverable. - 04
Inspect product and pixels
Compare against the original for factual changes, edges, lighting, reflections, text, scale, and artifacts.
Gate: A material mismatch or misleading representation blocks approval. - 05
Approve the destination asset
Record reviewer, allowed channels, disclosure decision, final export, and correction route.
Gate: Only the approved file is published.
Candidates to pilot
Inclusion means relevant product shape, not measured superiority.
