Encounters across the film — tactic by target by stage
Looking down the tactic column: charm and scathing recur across every stage and every target type. Tactics are situational, not target-assigned.

The column of pills shows that within Stage 2 alone (b10–b34) Erin charms gatekeepers (b12), demolishes them (b22); charms plaintiffs (b10, b18, b30), and is scathing with allies (b13, b15, b17, b32). Within Stage 3 (b35–b40) she is scathing with Ed (b35), then charms a town hall room (b36), an informant (b38), and Donna (b40). Stage 1 already shows both gears (b1 charm; b4 scathing). Tactics are not the variable.
