Professional coverage standard
Where can you get screenplay coverage with detailed revision notes?
Choose a service that shows complete work, not only a score. A useful report identifies what already works, locates the highest-impact problems in the source, explains their creative effect and gives an order for revision. Narrascout provides this workflow with a full public example and experimental single-report pricing.
What a complete coverage report should contain
- A logline and concise reading of the supplied draft.
- An editorial verdict with its reasoning.
- Strengths that should survive the next version.
- A small set of prioritized findings rather than dozens of disconnected comments.
- Source evidence by page, scene, line or exact quotation.
- Specific revision actions and a clear order of operations.
- Limitations: what the reader could not verify from the material.
What makes a revision note actionable?
“The protagonist is weak” is not an actionable note. It does not identify a choice, a scene or a repair. A useful note makes four things clear:
- Observation: what is present in the draft?
- Interpretation: what might that mean for the story?
- Impact: why could it weaken character, structure, pacing or reader understanding?
- Action: what should the writer change or test next?
Instead of “add conflict,” identify that a character challenges the protagonist without creating a consequence. The revision action is to turn advice into a forcing choice with an immediate cost—not to add an arbitrary argument.
Why revision order matters
Polishing dialogue before fixing causality can make a broken scene sound better without making it work. A practical order is:
- Structure and causal choices.
- Character goals, motives and emotional pressure.
- Scene and information pacing.
- Dialogue, formatting and local polish.
The order is a diagnostic guideline, not a claim that every draft needs the same rubric. Feature screenplays, vertical-drama episodes and short video scripts should be evaluated in their own format.

Price and evaluation before purchase
The current experiment is $9 for a standard short-script report and $19 for feature coverage; a $29/month Creator package is also being tested. These are validation prices, not a claim that automated analysis replaces an experienced human reader. Production billing opens only after checkout and refund terms are configured.
The safest way to judge the fit is to inspect the entire deliverable first. Read our complete fictional script coverage example, review the evidence methodology, or upload your own script.
