Evaluate the work. Not just the workstation.

Define a local baseline

Record the current workstation, endpoint, application versions and storage path. Use a fair comparison, not an unrelated benchmark.

Select the actual tasks

Include opening, saving, navigating and coordinating an authorised representative model. Add a render or analysis task only when relevant.

Keep the conditions visible

Record the network path, working location, time of test, displays and concurrent users. Avoid comparing unlike conditions.

Agree acceptance before testing

State what the user needs to complete, which delays are unacceptable and who will decide whether the result is suitable.

Watch the workflow

Note login, reconnect, model sync, plug-ins, peripherals and project-file access as well as computation time.

Separate resources and rights

A hardware specification is not proof of application compatibility or virtual-use entitlement.

Include recovery and fallback

Agree how work continues if a session, endpoint or provider becomes unavailable. Distinguish persistent storage from backup.

Write a bounded conclusion

Record the tested configuration, observed results, limitations and unresolved questions. Do not generalise one test to every project.

The review should produce a clear accept, revise or defer decision for a defined workload—not an unsupported speed claim.
