Face Consistency Protocol
Keep the face. Change the scene.
When a model turns a familiar person into a stranger, make the next test legible. Capture what held, what drifted, and the one variable worth changing.
Two generations in. One clean next move out.
Reference anchors
Write the cues that must survive every prompt.
Generation evidence
Compare observations, not assumptions.
Brief readiness
Complete the four observations to generate a brief.
Your protocol will appear here.
A repeatable rhythm for the next run.
Keep the smallest set of visual cues that made the good generation recognizable. Avoid adding a biography or guessing hidden model state.
Choose one: pose, lens, lighting, or wardrobe. Hold the identity anchors constant so the result teaches you something.
Start from the last good brief, mark the failed variable, and run a clean comparison. Your notes are evidence, not a likeness guarantee.
“The useful shift is from ‘why did it forget?’ to ‘what did I actually hold constant?’”
