Template

Before finalizing, build a two-column ledger: every setup planted (objects, skills, secrets, promises, Chekhov's guns) and every payoff delivered. Verify each setup pays off or is deliberately red-herringed, and each payoff was properly set up - a climax resolved by an unestablished element is a cheat. Check that foreshadowing is subtle enough not to spoil and clear enough to satisfy in retrospect. Report orphaned setups and unearned payoffs, then fix them.
