Collect playlist scene metadata: phase, role, effect family, kind, duration, tags. 2. Check diversity thresholds per phase playlist. 3. Check pacing thresholds for strobe and rapid-flow scenes. 4. Check structural coverage: entry/build/peak/exit presence. 5. Emit findings and concrete fixes. ## Default Checks 1. At least 3 effect families per phase playlist. 2. At least 2 blender scenes and at least 1 rapid-flow scene per phase playlist. 3. No more than 2 strobe-accent scenes per phase playlist. 4. Entry and exit roles exist in each phase. 5. No duplicate scene IDs or scene names in one playlist. ## Fix Patterns - Replace repeated family scenes with underrepresented roles. - Shorten strobe durations instead of deleting first. - Reorder scenes by role arc: entry -> build -> bullet/hard -> accent -> exit. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/abossard) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
