LABEL: the checks below are a proposal by this worker assembled from 1921 criticism (Lubbock's Ch. VI-VII), not a tested method and not Lubbock's own checklist. Seven questions derived from his claims: declared plan; can the focal mind perceive what the scene needs; is there another in-story observer; is the transition unobtrusive; what immersion is lost; is a late viewpoint prepared; does the climax content prescribe a direct scene. No source in the chapters gives a pass/fail test.
