What it carries

  • scene numbers, headings, page estimates, characters per scene, word counts — ready for scheduling software

What it can't represent

  • export only (a derivative, not a script format)
  • mapping into a given scheduler’s importer may need column tweaks on their side

Where it came from

CSV (comma-separated values, standardized as RFC 4180 in 2005) remains the lowest common denominator every scheduling tool imports; a scene breakdown CSV is the standard hand-off.
