Send the proof packet, not a messy email thread.

Customer approval stays fair
The record is sharp. The customer flow is calm.
Customers see what they are approving, what approval means, and how to request changes. The merchant gets evidence without making the customer experience hostile.
I have reviewed the proof and confirm the design is correct.
I accept the shop policies and understand production may begin after approval.
Money events
Built for the moments that cost margin.
Secondary ops value
