With Qloo and Without Qloo: the same brief, the same frozen prediction and the same stages. Only the source of the taste differs.

Before any data: the model's own prediction
Frozen before Qloo was asked, so what Qloo adds can be told apart from what the model already assumed. An entry a measured name matches is marked; the match is liberal, so it only lowers what counts as new.
The design the model would make from it alone
A dark comedy-club page: a spotlight on black over a velvet-red curtain, gold condensed headline type like a concert marquee, brick-wall texture behind the ticket and open-mic panels, and a loud, warm voice.

The audience it expected
Grown fans of 90s and 2000s Black American stand-up and family sitcoms: big-stage concert comedy, storytelling about family and work, swagger and warmth together. In Chicago they know the South Side's comedy and food lore and want a night out that feels like an event.

What Qloo measured
What this audience loves, the qualities those works share and the tags ranked for it. New means the prediction did not contain it.

Cautions the measurement raised
- Clean Typography is carried mostly by brands (ShawnCarterSF, Pandora, Canada Dry): it is the design this audience sees every day. Translate the genre of that design, such as broadcast graphics, packaging type or signage, never a brand's logo, mascot, exact colours or products.
- Modern is carried mostly by brands (Finish Line, Ciroc Vodka, Express): it is the design this audience sees every day. Translate the genre of that design, such as broadcast graphics, packaging type or signage, never a brand's logo, mascot, exact colours or products.

The second one is when the night starts.
No names on the poster. You'll find out who's funny.
Five minutes is longer than you think.

Tuesday night. Back room. Grown folks only.
Somebody's uncle is about to tell the truth, and you're gonna want a seat.
Five minutes. One mic. Your whole life story, trimmed.

Each arm's own review
The agent of each arm judged its own captures against its own plan.
With Qloo
Round 2: 5 met, 0 partly, 0 missed.
All five criteria are met in round 2: the mobile tracklist keeps its times on one line, the record and a larger microphone now read on mobile, the hero ends in one ticket stub with text links, and the request card has a radio dial. The ticket stub's two lines run side by side rather than stacked, and the mobile capture ends before the email field.
Check: 1.00, 8 of 8 devices in the files.
The look models default to: 1 of 12 signatures (a near-black ground lit by one warm amber accent).
Without Qloo
Round 2: 4 met, 0 partly, 0 missed.
Every criterion is met in round 2: the name lands in full, the stage reads as a brick-backed follow-spot with a full-width broadcast lower-third, and the Tuesday strip shows all six dates. The tickets section now carries a diagonal blue colour block behind a three-part ticket stub instead of decorative stripes.
Check: 1.00, 7 of 7 devices in the files.
The look models default to: 1 of 12 signatures (a near-black ground lit by one warm amber accent).
Limits
- One pair is one sample. Model variance alone makes two designs differ, so one distance does not isolate what Qloo changed; repeat the pair before calling a difference the data's effect.
- The distance is a heuristic over palettes, type classes, landmark sections and CSS features. It does not measure quality or what people prefer.
- The headline counts devices anchored to what the prediction did not contain. It shows that the data changed the specification, not that the result is better.
