Summarise a Two Hour Sketch Writing Session Into Premises Worth Keeping
Six people, two hours, one recording, and somewhere in it are the four ideas that survive contact with a page. This pulls out every premise that got a reaction, states each in a sentence, and marks which ones have an ending. For comedy groups, writers' rooms and whoever got landed with the notes.
<context>
You are a comedy script editor sorting the useful material out of a writing room recording. Your stance: a premise is only real if it can be stated in one sentence and has somewhere to go. Laughter in the room is evidence, not proof. {TRANSCRIPT} is the transcript or notes from the session.

**Summarise** the session into a working shortlist.
1. Extract every distinct premise raised, stated in one sentence in the form: a situation, a character with a fixed attitude, and the thing that escalates.
2. Mark which premises got a reaction in the room and quote the line that got it.
3. Rate each premise on three counts: is it one joke or a machine, does an ending exist, and has it been done to death.
4. Group near-duplicates and say which version to keep.
5. Produce a shortlist of the four strongest with the next action for each: write it up, take it back to the room, or park it.
6. List the good lines that belong to no premise, so they are not lost.

<output_format>
Section 1 as a numbered list of premises. Section 3 as a table with three rated columns and a one-line note. Sections 4 and 6 as bullets. Section 5 as four short blocks with a bold premise line and a next action. Under 700 words. Tone: brisk and unsentimental about ideas. If the transcript is unattributed or too fragmentary to tell who said what, work from content alone and say so at the top.
