01
SPACE scan. Speaker, Purpose, Audience, Context, Exigence — five reads of the situation, each with answer-specific feedback.
02
CAT flight. Pilot Orbit the space cat through the signal field — the side-scrolling flight pauses at each Choices, Appeals, and Tone gate, where the question pins you to a quoted line of the passage.
03
Repair Bay. Rebuild two commentary chains — the rhetorical choice, the precise evidence, the effect on the audience.
