Proposal (synthesis, not Lutz's own list): a six-step check that restates his scattered statements. 1) Can the camera show the thing? If yes and footage exists, photograph it. 2) If not, or if a static plan is the clearer picture, draw it as a moving diagram. 3) Is a textbook schematic available to copy, and a colour convention? 4) Can a draughtsman draw the successive states within the production means? 5) Write the scenario and the titles first; order parts whole-to-parts; add a pointer only where a fault or detail needs naming. 6) End on the complete or corrected state. Evidence level: 1920 practitioner statements, mostly conditional; no source supplies a comprehension test, so the check is structural. AI use is a hypothesis only.

Curator qualifications: Six-step check; step 6 not Lutz's; AI use hypothesis; experiment not run.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
