How small-batch, sample, and bulk production connect under one material spec.
The point of the sample-to-scale path is continuity: the material specification on your approved sample is the same specification used in bulk, so reorders do not re-spec from scratch.
Template or fabric selected. Quantity range, lead time, decoration recorded.
Physical sample produced with the candidate material. Customer reviews fit, hand, color, decoration.
Material specification locked. Sample record attached to the project.
Production uses the locked spec. Reorders reuse it without re-confirmation.
These are deliberate non-features until the records exist.
