Novel Outline Generator — illustrative example INPUT Create a five-chapter mystery outline: a missing museum painting appears in security recordings after its disappearance. The culprit exploits a delayed video feed; no supernatural explanation. RESULT 1. Discovery: the curator finds an empty frame while the monitor still shows the painting. 2. Test: a guard waves at the camera and sees no immediate response. 3. False lead: an old maintenance fault appears to explain the delay, but a fresh connector was installed. 4. Evidence: a delivery record links the connector and a packing crate to the same contractor. 5. Resolution: matching recorded timestamps establishes the delay; the recovered crate contains the painting. REVIEW Let chapter divisions follow meaningful changes in tension or knowledge. A fixed chapter count is a planning constraint, not a reason to repeat the same beat. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
