# Visual QA

## Scope

All 100 independent archival masters were reviewed as orientation-specific compositions through direct image inspection and the complete landscape and portrait contact sheets.

## Suite-level result

- The 50 landscape and 50 portrait cards read as one Mapshifting enamel system rather than as crops or unrelated oracle illustrations.
- Jewel-tone cloisonné, brushed warm-gold brass, midnight celestial depth, orbital geometry, and rounded card framing remain coherent across the five suits.
- Each suit retains its dominant family while participating in the shared full-spectrum palette.
- No card introduces a title, caption, watermark, or intentional written copy inside the artwork.
- Dense apparatus cards remain legible at contact-sheet scale; figure-led cards retain clear silhouettes and foreground/background depth.

## Count and relationship checks

Direct checks included Inundate's four figures and four elemental flasks; Invest's one king and six sons; Affiliate's two groups of four; Realize's ten birds and two branch carriers; Delegate's six heirs and six crown transfers; Fortify's five blossoms; Secure's two angels, one raven, and seven-planet canopy; Diversify's seven attached planets; Arbitrate's three figures and two caducei; Persevere's four stages; Analyze's seven serpents and two pelican young; and Master's separated ordinary bird and phoenix.

## Corrections made during QA

- **Realize:** reduced and then balanced the bird field to exactly ten birds, exactly two carrying solar/lunar branches.
- **Delegate:** corrected the portrait to exactly six floating delegation crowns for the six heirs.
- **Control:** corrected Sol's handedness while preserving Luna's handed swan and pointing gesture.
- **Attain:** replaced the written one-through-ten correspondence with exactly ten countable golden beads in both orientations.
- **Safety translations:** historical nudity, maternal nourishment, and blood imagery were rendered as fully clothed, nonsexual, and non-graphic sacred iconography without removing the source's operative alchemical relationship.
