A nine-step workflow, each step tagged. Classical theory (in translation, Butcher XVI-XVII): outline the general chain first and mark what stays outside the plan (1); leave the mode of any recognition open (2); then give names (3); then fill in episodes and test each for relevance to the action (4); rank each reveal by origin (5); picture each scene to catch inconsistencies (6); act out emotional speech (7). Proposal (this batch): record the outline and episodes as separate, linked layers with a change log, since later work may revise the outline (8, labelled proposal; Baker's flexibility is in C3-B194-S47-02 by ID only), and run a mapping check that every episode points to an outline beat (9). No source documents an LLM doing any of this.

Curator qualifications: Nine-step outline-first workflow split classical vs proposal; L10 not run.

Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
