It is a platform forecast, not a universal performance rule.
The demo opens a polished image into prototype, maker, and real-use scenes. Tie the process back to a meaningful product fact.
A staged mess is not authenticity. Use real process material and obtain permission from people shown.
Use it to explain how a product is made or checked.
