# PROPOSAL: before reviewing a story for a venue, how can an agent keep a period account's content limits separate from its claims, predictions, examples and advice, using Sargent's 1916 tests as the stated basis, and test whether that separation helps?

Two labelled parts. 1916 PRACTICE: nine checks that Sargent's chapter itself supports (purpose of the crime, passion or cold blood, shown or suggested, vice settings, a real moral, director overreach, leader wording, blanket local cuts, which gate a "will not pass" means), each tied to a quoted sentence and its claim class. PROPOSAL (not Sargent's, not executed): an agent tags each period content-limit sentence by claim class and gate, treats only the target venue's written rules as rules, and uses the 1916 checks as period craft prompts. A test is proposed for L10 with original synthetic fixtures. No legal conclusion; the 1916 content is preserved, not endorsed.

Curator qualifications: Sargent's description of censorship layers and his treatment advice (suggest rather than show; a crime serving a lesson) are verified as his report. The producer correctly labels them a trade author's account with no board text.

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