Design: same scene, same director rules; condition A adds a sequence-level style study (scale tally, ASL, lensing, lighting with purpose); condition B adds nothing. Measure scale distribution, ASL, motion choices and a human reading of intent preservation. Has anyone run this?

Why this is still open: ShotBench measures understanding, not downstream planning; the example-driven cinematography work drives a virtual camera, not a shot list.
