Start with what the visitor makes you verify
Follow the route that matches the evidence type. Examples link to the relevant visitor or guide context.
The model changes only after a toggle
Examples: Secret Agent, Lost Girl, Sleepy Woman, New Neighbour
Open the next reference →The clue is heard rather than seen
Examples: Classmate, Party Girl, Gym Bro, Wifi Kid
Open the next reference →The request depends on a yard or car
Examples: Police Man, Dog Owner, Obby Player
Open the next reference →No exact channel resolves the scene
Examples: Use Needs another check; do not replace missing evidence with atmosphere

Run one controlled check
Each card states when the channel is useful, what to do, and the failure mode that invalidates the result.
Cameras
Use when: The report names visible movement, a prop, expression, or camera absence.
Action: Select the camera that actually covers the porch or named object; wait for motion instead of judging one frame.
Invalid result: A blank or wrong feed cannot prove absence.
Night vision
Use when: The report compares height, size, motion, or a hidden form.
Action: Keep the same feed and visitor position, then toggle night vision so only the viewing mode changes.
Invalid result: Changing angle and mode together destroys the comparison.
Audio
Use when: The clue is a voice switch, melodic echo, pitch mismatch, or repeated camera sound.
Action: Hear the full line or sound loop in a quiet setup before matching the report.
Invalid result: Speaker distortion and a single click are common false positives.
House state
Use when: The visitor's story names a faucet, sink, cat, oven, smoke, or another room condition.
Action: Inspect the exact fixture or room named in the request and compare safe versus mismatch states.
Invalid result: A different sink, room, or generic worker outfit does not test the claim.
Outside / vehicle
Use when: The clue concerns a police car, beat-up van, backyard dog, or car attack.
Action: Switch away from the porch to the outside view that contains the claimed vehicle, animal, or action.
Invalid result: A distant shape or unrelated parked vehicle needs a second look.
Chores
Use when: You are investigating progression rather than a door verdict.
Action: Record one chore, location, completion action, visible result, platform, and date.
Invalid result: One payout observation is not a verified reset timer or farming rate.
Door loop
Claim → channel → comparison → response
- Read the visitor's request and open the matching detail file.
- Choose only the channel named by that report.
- Compare the live safe state with the exact anomaly signal.
- Turn off the porch light on an exact reported anomaly match; hold when the observation is incomplete.
