- Why this image
- I chose an original conceptual illustration of contrasting workflows and a shared review point to support this specific comparison. It is a visual metaphor for the decision, not product-performance evidence.

A wordless gouache painting on warm ivory paper. Two small open-front workshops on curved wooden platforms face a shared central table with a brass magnifying glass. Blank paper plans, simple drafting tools and unmarked geometric blocks rest on the benches. Two paper paths connect the work areas. Both sides are equally inviting and equally prominent. Forest green, sage, ocean teal, restrained ochre, fine architectural ink, subtle tactile paper grain. Hand-painted editorial art, coherent perspective, gentle natural light and landscape composition. Absolutely no writing anywhere: no words, letters, numbers, captions, labels, signs, diagrams, arrows, logos, screens, charts, maps or interface. All surfaces and book spines are blank. No people or robots.
