Year in Review
Build the year-in-review that makes someone cry the good way: every month represented or its gap acknowledged, the people balanced, the closing image chosen on purpose — the annual ritual the whole photo archive exists for. Locks the year and the coverage criteria FIRST, then curates the selection month by month, then narrates the year's thread. Use for year-in-review albums, annual photo retrospectives, 'the year in photos', December album rituals, and closing out the year's archive.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the year | Developer | the year's months mapped, coverage criteria locked |
| 2 | Curate the year | Developer | month-by-month picks, cast balanced, opener and closer chosen |
| 3 | Narrate the year | Copywriter | month sections, gaps named kindly, the year's thread |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
