A group order with two entries named Alex may require two gifts, not one corrected spreadsheet row. Count ordered pieces separately from unique names before preparing artwork.
Give every piece an identity
Assign a simple item number to each requested piece. Keep the name and any design choice beside that number. If two rows match, ask whether both are intentional before removing either.
Compare three totals: pieces requested, numbered artwork entries, and pieces represented in the approval proof. A mismatch is a question to resolve, not a reason to guess.
Return a clear count for approval
Present the customer with the full numbered list and the total quantity. Highlight duplicate names neutrally: two pieces carrying the same name can be completely correct.
After approval, handle additions as new numbered entries. Avoid inserting them into the middle of an already agreed sequence without recording the change.
This approach helps organize potential AntBelt G1 projects without promising production speed or order capacity. Keep the order list separate from any material-test or machine-readiness decision. A complete list is ready for the next planning step, not automatically ready for engraving.
For repeat groups, retain the approved piece numbers rather than relying on memory about who received which design.
