[Proposal built on 1921 criticism; not a tested method] Six questions an agent could put to a two-strand outline, each tied to one statement in Lubbock's XIV-XVI: what kind of join (contrast, clash or none); whether the strands have unequal timing needs; whether the first crisis of each strand is prepared; whether long gaps are carried by an earlier picture; what the climax still has to establish; and whether the picture and the extravagant action sit at the same angle to fact. The single-subject test for War and Peace is not repeated (see C3-B275-S86-06). Lubbock gives no test, evaluates no outlines, and says nothing about machines; the check and its outputs are this batch's proposal, to be tried on original synthetic outlines.
