How to choose the smallest useful stack
- Define one finished output and the platform where it will be published.
- Use a free plan to test the highest-risk step first.
- Record generation time, correction time and export constraints.
- Pay only when a limit blocks a workflow that already produces useful output.
Human review checklist
- Verify factual claims and visible text.
- Confirm rights for source assets, voices, music and final exports.
- Review continuity, brand fit and accessibility.
- Keep a source and change log for client work.
