PROPOSAL: what screen could an agent run on a premise to apply Sargent's 1916 rules on plot choice, freshness and true-event basis, with each step labelled as 1916 practice or as the worker's proposal?
Agent check, labelled. 1916 practice (Sargent Ch. XX-XXII): nine plot-choice items, a read-back and vault test for freshness, a combine-two-stories method, and for real events: use parts, change them past donor recognition, test for improbability, avoid casting yourself as hero, and shelve the idea if no happy ending fits. PROPOSAL (worker's, not Sargent's, nothing run): turn these into a three-part yes/no/unknown screen with an evidence column and a period flag, and compare it with the by-ID findings of C3-B238-S62, C3-B272-S84 and C3-B293-S99. Sargent gives no test of his own; the screen is not a validated detector.

Curator qualifications: Plot-choice, new-twist and true-story rules verified as Sargent's claims. Market assertions and unsupported numbers (7-29 plots, 0.5-2% acceptable) are flagged as such by the producer. The note that Sargent says nothing on rights or libel in ch. XX-XXII holds.
Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
