Everything Comes Down to the Details

This is Steven Petrick Posting.

SVC is working on a project to reduce the error rate on miniatures we get from our supplier. This involves using photographs and line drawings of the various miniatures to demonstrate what details need to be shown, and where those details need to be.

Sounds simple enough.

The problem is that the "detail" about the "background" against which the photographs of the miniatures was to be taken was not settled in advance. The photographer opted to do it against a black background, the result is that the pictures are too dark to be used and the project has crashed to a halt.

Progress is often derailed by a niggling little detail.
