Lesson

Generated work is large and it accumulates quickly. A campaign is a few gigabytes; a year of them is not. The original goes in durable storage, the derivatives are made once and served from a network close to the viewer, and both are governed by a retention rule somebody actually decided.

A huge rolled master print lies in an open wooden plan chest. Next to it, a guillotine has cut a neat stack of small copies. A courier carries one small copy out of the door to a person waiting with a hand held out.
The master stays in the chest. The small copy, cut once, is what travels.
