Give every request the same small set of fields
A simple order board can hold the request name, approved wording, reference image, and current review state. The goal is not to turn a small shop into a complicated system; it is to make the next handoff understandable without searching through several messages.
Separate ready from still-questionable
Use a visible marker for requests that still need clarification. Only move a request into the ready column after its proof is clear. This helps preserve a calm workflow without implying a production schedule or a promised result. Browse /updates/ for more order-preparation notes.
