The event reaches the party's field, not its situation.
The product’s working definition.
Touched at the edge. The party is in the picture because the event reaches its field, not because it changes the party's situation. A peripheral card earns its place by naming what would move it inward.
How directly an event reaches a party, on the intersection cards an Event Scan or an Entity Scan renders.
Every grade here is assigned by the same rules on every scan, and the methodology page renders those rules from the code that enforces them.
