Before comparing
Four-step note
Stop when the next claim needs evidence the photo does not contain.
Confirm the final source page and visible selection labels.
Mark listing, warehouse, or historical reference.
Write only the concrete detail shown in the image.
Record missing angles, mismatches, and the next evidence needed.
Worked example
Compare only after the option, lighting, image stage, and visible area are aligned.
Save the source URL, exact option, image stage, visible color area, and date.
Request a matching angle or current view when lighting or crop changes the observation.
Do not turn a color impression into a quality or authenticity verdict.
Exception handling
Keep earlier evidence while updating the field that no longer matches.
A dated, bounded observation is more useful than an unsupported verdict.
