Inputs
brand strategy decisions, audience priorities, the full touchpoint list, existing rights, production constraints and approval roles
Review
whether each visual decision traces to strategy, the system works across priority touchpoints and approval feedback uses agreed criteria
Brand identity input map: Evidence readiness requires a named source and owner; initial items: brand strategy decisions, audience priorities, the full touchpoint list.
Brand identity input map: Included evidence starts here: brand strategy decisions; keep this unresolved risk visible: strategy statements with no owner.
Brand identity input map: Written criteria govern the review; first checks: whether each visual decision traces to strategy, the system works across priority touchpoints and approval feedback uses agreed criteria; cross-check this risk: strategy statements with no owner.
