Before implementing conversion rules, minimize later QC work: set exact image-trace presets for line weight and threshold, define a simplification tolerance that preserves legibility without excess anchors, supply a before/after sample with notes on when manual cleanup is required, and package those settings and a cleaned exemplar so archives can batch-process scans reliably.
