  "situation": "The proposed tag would carry a decorative exterior and an owner-completed insert. A large open window could make the insert easy to read, while a full cover could obscure how to access it. The design should express the intended visibility choice without claiming that the tag secures personal information or guarantees luggage recovery.",
  "upstream": "The independent manufacturer would need the proposed tag construction, attachment references and blank insert format. The buyer would decide which information fields belong on the insert and whether any field should remain visible through the cover. Artwork and opening direction would depend on that decision.",
  "downstream": "Travelers would need to insert, remove and replace the card without damaging the intended assembly. Replacement cards would need an available format.
