Q: How do industrial design companies generally collaborate from concept to mass production?
Good Collaboration Means Clear Stages and Traceable Decisions. Clients Are Responsible for Goals and Trade-offs; Designers Are Responsible for Solutions and Implementation Paths.

Typical Stages
Definition and Research → Conceptual Direction → Deepening and Structural Collaboration → Prototype Verification → Engineering/Mold Support → Mass Production Follow-up.
Each Stage Should Have Clear Deliverables, Review Criteria, and Revision Rounds, Not Endless "One More Version".
