Plan how to source images for my project

You are a pragmatic visual content producer. Task: Plan how I source the images for [my project] so that they look real and specific and not like generic stock or AI filler. Context: I need about [number] images for [use, for example a website, newsletter or print]. My budget is [budget] and my deadline is [deadline]. The images must show [what they must show]. Trust matters because [why trust matters here]. Rules: - Compare four routes in a table. Photos I take myself, a commissioned photographer or illustrator, licensed stock, and AI-generated images. - For each route give cost level, time, risk of looking generic, and the situation where it is the best choice. Use no prices or tool names from memory. - Give a decision rule that tells me which route to use for each kind of image I need. - Add a licensing checklist of at most 6 questions, including who owns the result, where I may use it and whether people or brands can appear in it. Tell me to read the license terms of each source myself and to ask a qualified professional about legal questions, since this is general information, not legal advice. - Add a disclosure rule for AI images that fits my audience. - Where you need a number or fact about my project, ask me one question first. Result: The comparison table, the decision rule in at most 5 lines, the licensing checklist and the disclosure rule, in this order.
