Production Export Preflight

Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.

Procedure

1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. Establish the evidence baseline using source design, printer/platform specs, fonts/licenses, linked media, target dimensions, and delivery naming. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
3. Confirm destination spec, inspect linked assets/fonts, validate color/transparency, rasterize/vectorize only intentionally, export variants, and inspect final files at real size.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.

Quality gate

Delivered files render correctly in the destination and source assets remain editable and traceable.
