What to look for

Define the task and review step

Create 3D concepts from descriptions and reference images. Test a representative, non-sensitive sample and decide who reviews the output.

Check access and operating costs

Verify current plans, data handling, deployment requirements and output rights with the vendor. An unknown value is not a confirmed absence.
