What the user gets

Deliverable	Format
The case	what happened, where, when; what is known at the start
Suspect grid	3–6 suspects: motive · means · opportunity · the lie each tells · the truth behind it
Clue trail	every clue, where it is found, what it seems to mean, what it actually means
Misdirection	one honest red herring — true facts that point the wrong way
Detective's arc	what the investigator wants beyond the answer; what solving costs them
Reveal	the scene, and the earlier scene it rewrites
Fair-play audit	can a reader solve it from the text alone? which clue is the key?
Script hand-off	to `film-script`, `visual-novel`, `narrative-choice` (interrogation trees)
