PROPOSAL: using only Sargent's Ch. XXIII-XXIV (1916), what check could an agent run on a plot it has built from a seed, with each step labelled 1916 practice or proposal?

Two labelled parts. [1916 practice] An eight-step build-and-check read out of Sargent: log the route and seed in a plot book; take a hint, not the story, from a source; build by question chain or by climax with a constraint ledger and keep rejected leads; write a slight scenario; diagnose it (villain or antagonist, plot-question, roles in close relation, obvious path, suspense, marked crises, protagonist who acts); rebuild the whole scenario and compare it with the last; turn each point into a scene with a visible reason, strengthening early incidents; and set the plot aside for weeks before re-judging. [Proposal, untested] A table-output procedure with a change log, an obvious-version-first baseline (credited to C3-B238-S62-05), a second-reader prediction test, a role-presence checklist and a constraint ledger as a data structure, plus a pre-registered three-arm experiment.

Two labelled parts. [1916 practice] An eight-step build-and-check read out of Sargent: log the route and seed in a plot book; take a hint, not the story, from a source; build by question chain or by climax with a constraint ledger and keep rejected leads; write a slight scenario; diagnose it (villain or antagonist, plot-question, roles in close relation, obvious path, suspense, marked crises, protagonist who acts); rebuild the whole scenario and compare it with the last; turn each point into a scene with a visible reason, strengthening early incidents; and set the plot aside for weeks before re-judging.

Sargent gives no scoring method, so every metric is the worker's. The AI link is a hypothesis; no AI source was inspected and nothing was run. Curator qualifications: Plot-getting routes, the two worked methods, the four-revision Ben and Mary build and the named faults are verified as Sargent's text. The comparison row (-08) is synthesis by candidate ID, and the -09 build-and-check is a labelled proposal. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
