+# Packaged Demo Visual QA Evidence
+
+Each Windows investor build needs a real-GPU visual evidence set before it is
+called ready. Headless automation and QEMU guest-agent screenshots can confirm
+process state, but they cannot prove that the rendered desktop, menus, terrain,
+foliage, water, and survival objects are visually credible.
+
+Use Sunshine plus Moonlight, or an equivalent real-GPU desktop capture path, and
+save evidence under:
+
+`Saved\VisualQA\InvestorDemo\<version-or-build>\`
+
+Required screenshots or short clips:
+
+- `01-startup-credits`
+- `02-character-selection`
+- `03-first-spawn`
+- `04-terrain`
+- `05-vegetation`
+- `06-water`
+- `07-campfire`
+- `08-shelter`
+- `09-pause-menu`
+- `10-save-quit`
+
+Evidence may be screenshots, a single labeled clip, or a short clip plus stills.
+Do not commit raw captures to Git; keep them in `Saved\VisualQA` or publish
+links/paths in release notes.
+
+Create `visual-qa-summary.txt` beside the captures with:
+
+- package path;
+- build/version label;
+- rendering preset used, normally Default;
+- capture method, normally Sunshine plus Moonlight;
+- tester name;
+- pass/fail result;
+- visible defects;
+- whether the build is acceptable for investor viewing.
+
+The package is not investor visual MVP ready if any required segment is missing
+or if the first-spawn view still reads as flat terrain, absent foliage,
+placeholder water, debug-shape campfire/shelter objects, confusing menus, or
+broken save/quit flow.
