Operational sequence
- Record the character’s public role without inferring operational function.
- List independently observed access, skills, routines, and evidence behavior.
- Map public employer, actual sponsor, personal loyalty, coercive obligation, and temporary alliance separately.
- Identify dominant need, trust thresholds, moral boundaries, and current pressure state.
- Assign claim-level provenance and truth status to every interpretation.
- Connect the resulting persona to a plot choice, field method, and reversible test.
Failure states
- Treating job as personality
- Treating diagnosis as allegiance
- Treating a current state as a permanent trait
- Inferring private identity fields from stereotypes
- Using one credibility score for all claims
