1916 practice, then a PROPOSAL (not a source method). Sargent's statements supply the items: for a resemblance, rule out an already-in-work script and a better-developed commonplace idea before suspecting theft; for a paid service, test whether it continues to advise, how much each fee buys, and whether it promises results for everyone. The checklist outputs red-flag lists with locators; it draws no legal conclusion and gives no verdict on any real studio or school.

Curator qualifications: Sargent's views on alleged idea theft, correspondence schools, revision bureaus and agencies are verified as his statements; claims are separated from examples. -05 is labelled practice plus proposal.

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