Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Davros's public unveiling of the proto-Dalek (Mark Three travel machine) in Episode 12 immediately sets the technological framework for his later genocidal acceleration of the Dalek project in Episode 13."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's recognition of the proto-Dalek as a primitive weapon in Episode 12 directly informs the audience that Davros is weaponizing science. This escalates into Episode 13 where Davros uses the twelve-hour suspension of work not to halt progress but to accelerate the installation of genetically conditioned subjects into Daleks, revealing his true aim: total annihilation of the Kaled race.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
