Open with the tension inside this evidence: Choose-your-own-contract or institution-health scenario showing consequences of decisions.
Let the reader inspect Twine; translate what it shows, who produced it and what it cannot prove.
End with one action for A1, A2, A3: save, compare, question or apply the source.
By the end, the reader should understand how Twine can inform a decision—and where its open-source branching-story builder evidence stops. It gives the reader something concrete to inspect, compare, test, or create.
Open with a concrete creator dilemma, reveal the source, then invite the reader to test the idea against their own work. The reveal is Twine, not a generic stock illustration.
Editable companion field note
What happens when one undefined term travels through a campaign?
Twine can turn that question into a branching scenario: choose the scope, follow the consequence, then inspect the governing evidence.
Use it with A1, A2, A3, A4, P04, P07, P11, P13, future; preserve the source date, definitions, and limits rather than turning it into a broader claim.
Access: Free browser/desktop tool exporting standalone HTML.. Rights boundary: Tool and authored output are freely usable; incorporated assets still need clearance.
