i think anything has to be better than the current setup. the companions listed are completely random, surely we can work out something better? some companions arent listed (or in the category) like Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson.

i think the "multi-story" speaks for itself, and works fine. thus Sarah, Jackie and Jack ARE "multi-story" companions of the Tenth Doctor. as does the "multi-adventure".

it is the "single-story" / "narratively ambiguous" sections where the trouble lies. perhaps a good distinction would be if the Doctor ever voiced their potential of travelling with him full-time (either through asking them to join him or otherwise). that would leave;

Single-adventure: Madame de Pompadour, Joan Redfern, Astrid Peth, Jenny

Narratively ambiguous: K9 Mark III, River Song, Jackson Lake, Rosita, Adelaide Brooke, Cassie Rice, Jimmy Stalkingwolf
