Establish the question hierarchy for this story: Story: {{story_summary}} Genre: {{genre}} Design question layers: 1. CENTRAL DRAMATIC QUESTION - The main question driving the entire story - Posed in Act 1, answered in Act 3 - Example: "Will X save Y?" 2. ACT QUESTIONS - Act 1: What question is answered by the inciting incident? - Act 2A: What question drives to midpoint? - Act 2B: What question drives to low point? - Act 3: What question drives to climax? 3. SEQUENCE QUESTIONS - For each major sequence, what smaller question propels it? 4. SCENE QUESTIONS - Sample 5 scenes with their micro-questions 5. QUESTION MANAGEMENT - When is each question posed? - When is it answered? - How many questions are open simultaneously? (Ideal: 3-5) Map the question architecture to ensure constant forward momentum.
