This is a synthesis across Baker 1919 (cited only through C3-B194-S47-01..-03, not re-read) and Screen Australia's guide and FAQ. Shared ground: the short document is a problem-finding tool before drafting; events and actions rather than named effects; selection over completeness. Differences: Baker prescribes a persons-list-then-settings header and sets clearness before brevity for stage plays; the agency prescribes page ranges by document type, a series engine, and a funder's self-analysis of weaknesses. Not found in the agency texts read: Baker's withheld-key-fact failure by name, any scored test, any rule for referencing other works (the bible instead asks for antecedents or references). The checklist below is a PROPOSAL, untested.

Curator qualifications: Comparison with Baker 1919 relies on earlier reviewed C3-B194-S47 candidates (not re-read); 12-line agent checklist is a labelled, untested proposal.

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