Item by item, which of Baker's 1919 scenario requirements and failure modes carry over to current Screen Australia guidance, which do not, and what checklist can an agent use to produce and self-check a treatment, outline or series pitch document?
This is a synthesis across Baker 1919 (cited only through C3-B194-S47-01..-03, not re-read) and Screen Australia's guide and FAQ. Shared ground: the short document is a problem-finding tool before drafting; events and actions rather than named effects; selection over completeness. Differences: Baker prescribes a persons-list-then-settings header and sets clearness before brevity for stage plays; the agency prescribes page ranges by document type, a series engine, and a funder's self-analysis of weaknesses. Not found in the agency texts read: Baker's withheld-key-fact failure by name, any scored test, any rule for referencing other works (the bible instead asks for antecedents or references). The checklist below is a PROPOSAL, untested.
