## How the final method is selected

One communication requirement can be produced through live action, AI, CGI, motion design or a hybrid route. The right choice depends on what must be documentary, technically exact or visually flexible; whether real people and objects are available; how many versions are needed; and which rights, deadlines and budget constraints apply.

## How to interpret the selector result

No. It narrows the options by task and evidence type. The method is confirmed only after the brief, assets and required deliverables have been reviewed.
