  "situation": "A hypothetical buyer develops a fashion scarf with a narrow illustrated border and a central motif.

The buyer would need to decide how much of the border should remain visible in the completed scarf.",
  "upstream": "The artwork would depend on the proposed fabric, printing arrangement and edge-finishing method. Independent printing and sewing manufacturers would need compatible references. The buyer would ask how each proposal affects the finished composition rather than assume the file boundary is the visible edge.",

  "tradeoff": "A border placed close to the edge could support a delicate visual effect but make the finishing relationship more prominent in approval.
