# Negative Prompt Block — Factronics USA

**Living list. Add to it every time an unwanted element appears in a generated image
during PM review — do not try to predict this list up front.**
Entries are comma-separated and can be appended directly to the negative prompt.

- No faces, no portraits
- No logos, no brand marks, no color codes, no labels in the image
- No additional text beyond the exact headline specified
- No staged studio photography, no advertising shoot look
- No cinematic lighting, no dramatic HDR, no exaggerated shadows

- No futuristic sci-fi robots, no glowing holograms, no concept renders
- No catalog white-background product shots
- No low quality, no distorted text or gibberish

## Copy exclusions (derived from the compliance, naming, and tone rules)

- No generic product categories in CTAs ("coding systems", "inspection equipment")
- No invented Linx product names or specs
- No "we ensure compliance", "compliance guarantee", "we handle your compliance"
- No "pre-audit compliance assessment", "compliance readiness assessment"
- No "best-in-class", "cutting-edge", "revolutionary", "game-changer", "synergy", "world-class"
- No em dashes or en dashes in any copy
- No jargon without context (CIJ, TTO, REST API unexplained)
- No competitor brands or logos (Videojet, Markem-Imaje, Multivac)

## Observed exclusions (added during real use)

Empty at creation. Each future addition should note the date/cycle, so there is a record
of when and why — e.g.:
- 2026-09: (add here when a cycle review catches a new unwanted element)

## Process

When a generated image contains an unwanted element:
1. Add the element to this block
2. Note the context (carousel, blog, infographic, etc.)
3. `prompt-improvement-filter` reads this block on the next run

> **Note:** visual exclusions are appended to the image prompt. Copy exclusions are a
> quality-control reference for the copy/prompt stage — they are not sent to the image
> model. See `Factronics_Prompt_Improvement_Guide.md` for the detail behind each rule.
