SpectraResource · approval
A proof needs a decision trail.
Keep a version, a decision, its scope and a deliberate release condition together.

The practical answer
The operating control is simple: know the current version, who made the decision and whether production is released. This is not a statement of legal authority or intellectual-property permission.
Issue
Give the proof a stable identity.
Issue a version, date, job reference and visible scope. Include dimensions, finish assumptions and open questions that could alter the work.
- Issued version and prior version
- Commenter and decision-maker
- Decision: approve, revise, reject or hold
- Commercial or production effect
- Release condition
Worked sample
Record a changed vehicle proof.
Synthetic sample: VX-208 artwork V02 is rejected because the customer asks for a new rear-door panel. V03 carries that change. The decision is ‘approved for production subject to vehicle availability’; no older file is the current manufacturing reference.
Boundary
Approval is scoped, not magical.
A design decision should not be treated as a safety, planning, electrical, contractual or brand-rights decision unless the appropriate authority and evidence say so. Reopen the record for any material change.
A sample, not a promise
