Avoid documented Sanity mistakes and use the current game display for version-sensitive recovery rules.
One avoidable loss is handling a patient photo before it has finished processing. Let photos develop, do not force uncertain anomaly calls, and use the current Sanity display and prompts because no complete fixed formula has been collected.
Treat each row as a decision clue, not a complete substitute for the rest of your patient check.
Current guides warn that inspecting or picking up a photo before it finishes can cost Sanity and still gives no valid final result.
Static-only and never-rendered photo states are disputed. Recheck instead of converting uncertainty into a wrong decision.
Follow the current meter and recovery prompts; do not assume a permanent numeric formula.
Leave each photo in place until processing visibly completes.
Use visual and CCTV checks while waiting.
When evidence conflicts, choose RECHECK and consult the live game state.
Record the exact cause and recovery after a reproducible Sanity change.
