# Overview

Validation notes are warnings for the scenario order. They help you see whether a what-if structure creates continuity, setup, dependency or timing problems.

# When Should I Use This?

Use these notes after moving scenes or before comparing and applying a scenario.

# How To Use It

Read each note as a review question. Decide whether it points to a real problem, an intentional change or a side effect of the experiment.

# Example

A moved scene might now reference an asset before the scene where the asset appears.

# Writer Tip

Scenario warnings are safer than main warnings: they let you learn before committing.

# Common Mistakes

- Treating scenario warnings as main-story errors.
- Applying a scenario without validating it.
- Ignoring dependency warnings created by scene movement.
