# Quality Bar

A slide passes only if all of these hold:

1. Every Japanese string matches the plan exactly: headline, subline, three labels, takeaway. No invented words, no missing characters, no garbled glyphs.
2. The slide reads clearly at thumbnail size: headline legible, diagram structure obvious.
3. The style is unmistakably Midcentury Modern Ads: warm cream paper with printed grain, halftone gradients and faded misregistered ink; enormous teal-and-charcoal Japanese gothic headline with a burnt-orange final phrase on a wide cream swash; atomic-age ornaments — orbiting atom rings, spoked sputnik starbursts, mustard halftone patches; a deep-teal ribbon subline banner with a notched arrow tail and folded corner tab; one dominant arrangement of cream panels framed by thin charcoal rules with solid corner number triangles and rounded retro flat illustration on ochre blobs; solid charcoal block arrows; exactly three full-width solid caption bands in burnt orange, teal and olive; a wide charcoal-black bottom band with a gold underline, an orange starburst wedge and a teal rocket mark
4. The body contains ONE dominant metaphor from slide-recipes.md, not an equal card grid.
5. Exactly three labels, each readable.
6. No logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, page numbers, watermarks, English body text, or photorealistic people.
7. The slide belongs to the same family as samples/contact_sheet.png: same palette temperature, same shape language, same decoration density.

If any check fails, regenerate that slide before continuing.
