# Design workflow decision checklist

Use this optional worksheet to choose your next step. Start with a short request;
you do not need to complete every field to use Ciyo.

## Choose a starting point

- [ ] I know the composition and need one image: begin with an image generator.
- [ ] I need help deciding what to make: begin with a design-agent conversation.
- [ ] I have alternatives to compare: supply them and the same review criteria.
- [ ] I need a precise edit or handoff format: verify the actual controls first.

These are workflow recommendations, not universal product limits. Image tools
may also support conversation and editing. Agent planning does not guarantee a
better image, accurate text or a finished campaign. Planning and generation can
consume credits.

## Filled example — fictional notebook launch

Next decision: quiet desk scene or simple flat lay?
Audience: people who keep a daily desk journal.
First output: a short comparison; after selection, one square social visual.
Source of truth: the supplied notebook photograph and approved product name.
Keep accurate: cover color, visible markings and notebook proportions.
Accept when: the cover is recognizable and the image fits the selected message.
Still unresolved: exact headline and final delivery dimensions.
Starting point: ask the agent to compare the directions before generation.

This example is illustrative. It does not report a new production test.

## Your task — keep only the fields you need

## After the first result

- [ ] Compare the output with the supplied source, not just the prompt.
- [ ] Read every visible word and check product identity.
- [ ] Record one next change rather than adding unrelated requests.
- [ ] Inspect the actual file, dimensions and editability before handoff.
