# PISTOL · CINEMATIC AUDIT (KILLPAGES-A, 27 Oct)

Scope: the 27 films and 7 skins (34). Mid-round kills (10) stay ≤ 3 s and get the new bar separately.
**KEEP 12 / REBUILD 22 (65%).** KEEP means a serious, brutal ★ that is not gag-based; it stays in rotation as the minority.
REBUILD means a gag, a comic premise or a weak kill. Rebuilt slots keep their key. Gags not rebuilt in a wave get `retired: true`
as their slot comes up.
