Combining VII's definitions of whole, beginning and end, its rule against haphazard edges, its limits on length (embraced by memory, perspicuous) and its rough change-of-fortune bound gives a nine-step outline check. Each step is labelled as classical theory in Butcher's translation or as my proposal. The text gives no thresholds, and the check is untested; an L10 experiment with seeded defects is sketched, not run.
