Formula:
quality_score = 0.4 * sharpness +
0.3 * (1 - glare_severity) +
0.2 * dynamic_range +
0.1 * (1 - calibration_delta_e)Quality Tiers:
| Tier | Min Score | Sharpness | Glare | Dynamic Range | Calibration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Museum | 0.90+ | 95%+ | <5% | 90%+ | <5% |
| Gallery | 0.80+ | 85%+ | <10% | 80%+ | <10% |
| Professional | 0.70+ | 75%+ | <20% | 70%+ | <20% |
| Standard | 0.60+ | 65%+ | <30% | 60%+ | <30% |

Defect Categories (11 types):
- Banding
- Color shift
- Misalignment

Phase 1 Logic:
// Rules-based classification from QC notes
const keywords = ['banding', 'color', 'misalign', 'jam', 'streak', ...];
const defectCategory = classifyFromKeywords(qc.notes);
const rootCause = determineRootCause(defectCategory, equipment);
const correctiveAction = suggestCorrection(rootCause);File: src/services/preflightRiskScoring.ts (356 lines)
Risk Factors:
- File resolution vs print size
- Color gamut warnings
- Artist historical defect rate
- Partner equipment reliability
- Paper type compatibility
Risk Levels:
| Level | Score | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 0-30 | Auto-approve |
| Medium | 31-60 | Notify operator |
| High | 61-80 | Require review |
| Critical | 81-100 | Block until fixed |
Rules-Based Logic:
// Resolution check
if (dpi < targetDPI * 0.8) risk += 30;
// Historical defect rate
if (artistDefectRate > 15%) risk += 20;
// Equipment reliability
if (printerUptimePercent < 95%) risk += 15;File: src/services/recommendationEngine.ts (383 lines)
Recommendation Types:
- Similar artworks (based on tags, medium, colors)
- Artist discovery (find related artists)
- Collection building (complementary pieces)
Current Algorithm:
// Jaccard similarity on tags
const similarity = intersection(tags1, tags2).length / union(tags1, tags2).length;
// Weighted scoring
const score = 0.4 * tag_overlap +
0.3 * medium_match +
0.2 * color_similarity +
0.1 * price_range_match;File: src/services/ocrExtraction.ts (146 lines)
