Sign-offs have created re-shoot cycles because my criteria are vague. Identify the consistent mistake in my approval decisions (over-reliance on visual comparison, no numeric tolerances) and recommend one change—introducing a simple delta-E threshold, locking a reference swatch in files, or a two-stage sign-off—that will reduce re-shoots and raise consistency. Show expected benefits for a regional rollout.

The real tasks

1 of them
