PROPOSAL built on 1919 stage practice. Baker gives no checklist; this batch assembles one from Chapter X (labelled synthesis), in this order: (0) freeze the central human and artistic purposes; (1) state the intended audience, its knowledge and approach, and whether it is general or special; (2) interest check; (3) comic/tragic and sympathy check; (4) motivation check for informed viewers; (5) form and length check; (6) order check; (7) truckling triage: any audience-driven change that alters the purposes is refused, and an audience-unfriendly element is cut only after a recorded attempt to make the audience feel it; (8) record each change with reason and stage; (9) readiness gate. It is run as a separate critical pass, in line with Baker's advice to keep creative and critical work apart. Baker supplies no outside-audience protocol; any LLM or human reader panel is an untested addition.
