Blueprint Trade begins with the design, because information can reach a community long before a physical object can. A resident opens the blueprint page and sees the expected result before committing materials.
The author's record explains who created it, while the preview shows what should be produced. The material route then explains what the design needs and where those inputs will come from.
Only after that does the Platform present the production route. Local Making keeps the job inside the Grid when nearby equipment is enough.
