== Beat audit checklist == Use this checklist manually or as a prompt appendix: * [ ] Does the opening show the old world in motion? * [ ] Is the protagonist’s want visible early? * [ ] Does the inciting incident destabilize the protagonist? * [ ] Does the protagonist actively cross into Act II? * [ ] Does each scene have a goal, conflict, turn, crisis, climax, and consequence? * [ ] Does each scene shift a value? * [ ] Does the midpoint reverse or reframe the story? * [ ] Does antagonist/opposition adapt? * [ ] Do stakes escalate in kind, not just volume? * [ ] Does the low point result from prior choices? * [ ] Does the climax force a meaningful choice? * [ ] Is the solution planted but not obvious? * [ ] Does the ending show consequence? * [ ] Does the final image transform the opening image? * [ ] Do action scenes cause reaction scenes? * [ ] Do reaction scenes produce decisions? * [ ] Can any scene be removed without breaking causality? If yes, cut/combine/rewrite.
