A practical method
- Read the source around the cited passage.
- Check whether the statement applies to the situation shown.
- Preserve meaningful uncertainty in narration and publication notes.
An example brief to adapt
Review my proposed narration against the supplied source excerpt and surrounding context. Flag any sentence that turns a possibility into a certainty or a local finding into a universal rule. Suggest narrower wording for approval without adding new facts.
Review before moving on
- Does the scope match?
- Has uncertainty survived the edit?
- Is the source current enough for the claim?
Record a concrete observation beside each check: a line in the treatment, a source passage or a timestamp in the downloaded film. If you cannot inspect an item yet, leave it open. A request in a brief is an intention; the result is what must be reviewed.

What to avoid
Shortening a script can remove precisely the qualification that made the original statement accurate. Treat those edits as factual decisions, not merely stylistic ones.
