"""Hand-built reference grouping of the Lorimer predicaments (Claude-written, no inference of any kind).

Lorimer's *Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son* is an advice book, not a story collection: each of
its twenty letters is a "story", and the scenes are stretches of a father's advice and the anecdotes he
tells to carry it. Each scene is in at most one group; scenes that fit no recurring situation stay
unassigned. Every group spans at least three of the 20 letters, and no letter supplies more than half a
group's members.
Options follow DESIGN.md: 3-5 per group, each marked by where it came from --
  'archetype'  a fixed, setting-free option
  'scene:N'    what someone in scene N actually did (or refused to do)
  'advice:N'   a move the book itself advises for or against in scene N (see batches/, `advice`)
  'filled'     written to fill a gap the scenes leave
`moves` names spine paths and a direction only (+ / - / risk / set). No magnitudes: the model never
chooses a number. Skill labels proposed for this corpus: judgment (sizing up goods, prices, people and
claims: the father's "one-part talk and nine-parts judgment") and hustle (drive, application, doing the
second half of the work).

# mailing desk, then the billing desk. Letters 10-14 (9-13): a travelling salesman, raised to thirty a week
# in letter 13. Letters 15-20 (14-19): assistant manager of a department at fifty a week. "high" is only the
