A systematic approach to writing or outlining a story?

I'm trying to design a document like a fill in the blanks sheet.

Character
1. Want - What does your character want?

2. Need - What do they believe?

3. Lie - What is at stake?

4. Ghost - Why they must succeed?

Character Arc
1. Character believes lie
2. Character encounters truth
3. Character overcomes lie by finding and accepting the truth


Philosophical Conflict
Blank vs Blank

0. Protagonist
1. Ordinary World
2. Call to Adventure
3. Refusal of the Call
4. Meeting the Mentor
5. Crossing the Threshold
6. Tests, Allies and Enemies
7. Approach
8. Ordeal, Death and Rebirth
9. Reward, Seizing the Sword
10. The Road Back
11. Resurrection
12. Return with Elixir

What else could be added?
