Checklist (from Free Nutshell Technique Worksheets):

• Does the protagonist get their SET-UP WANT immediately and directly in the POINT OF NO RETURN?

• Does the protagonist get something immediately in the POINT OF NO RETURN that they don’t want, the CATCH?

• Is the CATCH the perfect test of their FLAW?

• Is the CRISIS the lowest the protagonist can go? (What if they were in jail? Or considering suicide?)

• In the CRISIS, is the protagonist in the exact opposite state of mind or situation of where they were in the SET-UP WANT?

• In both the CLIMACTIC CHOICE and the FINAL STEP, does the protagonist move away from the FLAW and toward the STRENGTH?

• Are the FLAW and the STRENGTH exact opposites?
