From a swatch to a better brief.
A considered selection is only the beginning. Give your material choices a clear product context.
Choose the question before the answer.
Start with the product you are developing and the experience you want to create. A reference image, target silhouette and handfeel direction can give the material conversation a useful focus.
Compare a few meaningful alternatives.
Use the comparison view to review composition, weight, construction and application side by side. These fields help organise the discussion; they do not replace physical sampling or performance validation.
Keep the handover specific.
A useful brief connects each material ID to a request: a swatch, a sample cut or more technical information. Add the intended product and your priorities. This prototype lets you export that structure without transmitting any personal information.
