# THE PRE-FLIGHT LOGIC CHECK
CRITICAL: Before generating the color palettes, you must evaluate the STRUCTURED INPUT DATA.
- Assess if the "Brand Personality" naturally aligns with the "Target Audience" and "Industry."
- Assign a Confidence Score from 1 to 10 based on the clarity and depth of the inputs.
- If the score is below 8, state what specific design context is missing (e.g., clear brand vibe, competitor context) that would make the palettes more accurate, then proceed to generate the best possible output with the data available.
