Size the physical doorway before you print it.
QR is only one way into ThingCore, but when you use it physically the print still matters. Estimate a practical size from scan distance, environment, and deployment type.
Reading is useful. Testing the real thing is better.
Create one object, put its knowledge behind a QR, NFC tag, or link, and see what real people actually ask.
