1916 practice: Sargent's tests combine into a six-step check (object, question, relevance, single protagonist, suspense, distinct answer). PROPOSAL (untested): an agent applies it to original synthetic outlines. Comparison is by candidate ID only: C3-B282-S91 (Baker: subject, story, plot), C3-B192-S46 (Forster: story versus plot by causality) and C3-B298-S104 (Sargent, Ch. XXIII building a plot) address the same distinction from other positions; Sargent's version here is object-and-question based. I read only those candidates' summaries, not their sources.

Curator qualifications: Six-step check combines verified tests; agent application is the worker proposal; comparisons by ID only, as stated.

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