# Investor Demo Acceptance Gate

No packaged build should be called an investor visual MVP unless it passes the
0.1.O visual/menu acceptance gate and has a real-GPU visual QA evidence set.

## Hard Fail Conditions

The build fails investor visual MVP acceptance if any of these are true:

- menus are confusing, unfocused, unclickable, or do not support predictable
  back/escape behavior;
- startup credits, character selection, server/join, loading, pause, save, or
  quit feel like gameplay is running underneath an accidental overlay;
- character art is mannequin-only or ignores the selected young-adult male/
  female archetype;
- terrain still reads as flat tan placeholder ground;
- foliage, shrubs, bushes, grass, and trees are absent, unreadable, or hide
  gameplay-critical objects;
- water does not read as a collectable freshwater source;
- campfire, shelter, resources, pickups, or wildlife still read as primitive
  debug shapes or primitive debug shapes;
- the non-ray-traced Default rendering path is not visually credible;
- required visual QA screenshots or clips are missing.

## Required Evidence

Before a package is marked investor visual MVP ready, capture and review the
evidence listed in `Docs/Ops/PackagedDemoVisualQAEvidence.md`.

Required pass/fail summary:

`Saved\VisualQA\InvestorDemo\<version-or-build>\visual-qa-summary.txt`

The summary must record the package path, version label, rendering preset,
capture method, tester, pass/fail result, visible defects, and final
investor-viewing decision.
