A seven-step gate (0 to 6) built from Chapter VIII's claims: label it; split the stage item into content (conflicting action, shared with the screen) and stage means (real bodies, proscenium); test which separation device the technique relies on; test selection, heightening and completeness; refuse 'because the stage does it' as a sole reason; and record keep, adapt, replace or drop with the deciding step. Münsterberg gives principles but no procedure and no list of techniques. By ID, Phillips's 1914 manual (C3-B252-S70-05, -06) gives practice rules (interior states need action, a three-act play can fit one reel) and no keep-and-change method, and C3-B231-S58-04 records that the three public-domain manuals give no coverage vocabulary. The gate therefore sits above those practice rules and does not replace them.
