Which failure modes does Baker's 1919 Chapter IX name for weak scenarios, and what outline checklist would an agent take from them (labelled 1919 stage practice)?
1919 stage-play practice. Baker names about a dozen ways a scenario fails: too brief or only a summary; no persons list; an over-descriptive persons list; over-elaborate settings; missing background; withholding the key fact for surprise; talky or referential openings; entrance-and-exit schedules; lines that promise a powerful scene instead of showing it; unclear purpose or suspense; and treating an approved scenario as fixed. This batch turns them into a ten-question outline checklist (synthesis, with evidence per question); the chapter gives no scoring and no mention of automatic systems, so any LLM use is a proposal.
