Brief item 1

Break the proposal apart

List the structure, print versions, insert, finish and assembly as separate decisions. Ask what changes if a decorative operation or a secondary component is removed, while keeping the packaging's essential function.

Brief item 2

Compare the same deliverable

Record quantities, flat or assembled delivery and included sample work for each option. Evaluate a cheaper-looking proposal only after confirming it covers the same product arrangement and approved quality requirements.
