Intro

You can avoid many failed generations by checking readiness before upload. A fast pre-upload test is often the highest ROI step in the entire flow.

The 5-Point Readiness Test

Pass at least 4 out of 5 before uploading:

  1. Angle: Front-facing or slightly above eye level
  2. Distance: Face fills frame without wide-angle distortion
  3. Lighting: One dominant light source, no heavy shadow split
  4. Background: Simple enough that your face remains the main subject
  5. Hair/Makeup noise: No detail that overwhelms facial structure

If You Fail 2+ Points

Do not retry generation yet. Retake first.

Retake priority:

  1. Fix lighting
  2. Fix distance
  3. Fix background
  4. Then adjust expression/hair detail

Why This Works

AI style systems are sensitive to input consistency. Clean readiness checks reduce random variation and make output comparison fair.
