Methodology Story
Our assessment follows a clear sequence: light interaction first, clarity second, and colour third.
Light Interaction Assessment
Initial analysis focuses on light return, leakage, and contrast to establish visible brilliance and optical balance.
Clarity Characteristic Analysis
Inclusions and surface characteristics are reviewed and documented with clear language suitable for report and client use.
Colour Grade Positioning
Colour is benchmarked against recognised references to produce consistent, report-ready grading outcomes.
