5Freeze a golden sample tray before mass. Without it, PSI arguments get subjective fast.
Many publishers run tighter AQL on painted minis than on plain wood discs. Split the plan by material.
For mixed SKUs, inspect insert fit and paint rub zones—not only component counts.
Treat incoming, in-process, and PSI as three layers. Photo records at each gate help retailer audits later.
