STAGE (arXiv 2601.08510v2) reports screenplay length in words and structure in scene counts per language (English 108 screenplays: mean 12,453 words, 137 scenes) and does not convert to minutes; its released artefacts are derived-only and non-commercial.

STAGE (arXiv 2601.08510v2) reports screenplay length in words and structure in scene counts per language (English 108 screenplays: mean 12,453 words, 137 scenes) and does not convert to minutes; its released artefacts are derived-only and non-commercial. Curator qualifications: The 'None found' answer is scoped to these screenplay-corpus papers; it is not a claim that no runtime data exists (Cutting's film-runtime analyses are a different source class, AUDIT1 row 13). MovieSum ~29k words (S29) not reinspected. No words-per-minute conversion should be inferred from these sources. Text only; no film analysis reproduced. Limitations: Negative result limited to two papers searched by producer; curator checked one. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
