I have survey prints scanned at odd angles and my CAD export sits out of alignment. The planner needs contours to match tonight. Should I re-scan in the field, or crop and deskew these scans now and reproject? Tell me the fastest reliable workflow to crop, straighten, and overlay so contours align, name one risk that makes me re-scan, and give the sequence of steps I should follow.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
