Causal Fit Checks
Actor: Which established person or faction could express this pattern?
Knowledge: What does that actor know or credibly believe at decision time?
Motive: Which established goal, fear, grievance, loyalty, or obligation supports it?
Trigger: What changed now, or what established pressure became intolerable?
Opportunity: When and where can the actor act despite player precautions?
Capacity: What authority, allies, access, health, time, and means are available?
Variation Prompts
Straight: express the pattern through the least unsupported effective action.
Inverted: reverse the expected beneficiary, direction, or apparent power relationship.
Subverted: establish the expectation, then let existing facts or precautions prevent its expected payoff.
