About This MicroSim

A Mermaid flowchart TD diagram showing the five-step graphic-novel production pipeline. Each step is a node annotated with its audit gate question. Inter-step arrows are labeled with the artifact that carries forward: figure brief, storyboard, panel prompts, and rendered panels. An audit feedback arrow from the Historical Accuracy Check back to the Script and Panel Plan step (in orange) signals that fact-check flags may require script revision.
