"This is the most revolutionary tool for screenwriters since screenwriting software was invented. It looks at things I never thought were even something to be paid attention to, and now I go back to every scene I thought was brilliant and realize it could still be better."

Layered Read grades the whole script. Then every act, every sequence, every scene.

Most of your script doesn't need rewriting. This is how you find the parts that do.

Pick a screenplay, then click around

Green Book — The first act is the only one that comes back needing work — Lip’s prejudice gets set up, then set up again. One sequence inside it still holds, though: the negotiation where he’s hired. Scene 10 on its own doesn’t, and scene 11 carries it. Open scene 10, then the sequence above it.

The Room — Almost nothing here survives at any level. What comes closest is scene 4 — Lisa getting dressed, waiting for Mark — because something in it actually changes. Open it and see what the read still gives it credit for.

The Matrix — Every act and every sequence holds. The scenes that don’t are the ones where someone explains the world, or nobody is under any pressure. Scene 31 is the crew eating synthetic breakfast: competent, funny, and nothing in it is forcing anyone. Open it and argue with that.

Click any block.

No notes on that one yet. Try Triage, Pressure or Development.

The same screenplay, read at four sizes.

Scenes. More than half need something. The ones that do are mostly scenes that only set something up, or move them from one place to the next. The scenes where the two of them actually deal with each other are the ones that hold.

Sequences. Group those same scenes into sequences and most come back Keep — a scene that sags on its own is often being carried by the sequence it sits in.

Acts. Only the first act needs work, and no single scene in it is the problem. The act keeps telling us the same thing about Lip: that he is prejudiced. The lemonade glasses go in the bin — and then it tells us again, and again. He ends the act exactly where he started, only now he has a job.

Script. Keep. The relationship carries what the single scenes don’t.

One weak scene is not the same problem as a weak sequence. That is what the four rows are for.

What Triage measures

Triage is the sorting question — what needs attention and what does not. The other readings in the menu tell you why.

Every part of the script is read three ways. Design: is it built to do something. Execution: is it written well. Read: does it hold you. Each one comes back solid, soft or broken.

The band counts those three. Keep — all three solid. Polish — nothing broken, at least one soft. Rework — one broken. Two lenses low — two or more broken.

So a band tells you how MANY readings came back weak, not how badly one of them did. A Rework part can have a single reading far gone; a Two lenses low part can have two that are only just under.

Not fully read means too little of that part was graded to say either way. It is not a position on the scale, which is why it sits outside the colour run.

Now change the reading above, and the same four rows say something else.

Is anything forcing this to happen now?

Scenes. The strong blocks are the places they stop — the dive bar, the concert hall, the dining room in Birmingham. Trouble is waiting for them at the next venue, so that is where the film has something to push against. On the road it is quieter — except when the two of them bring the argument into the car with them, and those drives hold too.

Sequences. The sequences that come back weakest are the ones where they are getting under way — The Road Trip Begins, Road Trip to Pittsburgh, The Offer and the Pawn. A road movie whose roads carry the least pressure.

Acts. Each act pushes a little harder than the one before it, and the last is the strongest — the film tightens its grip just as it is ending.

Script. Start to finish, the trip always has somewhere to be.

The trip always has somewhere to be. The drives never do — and the drives are most of the film.

A Christmas Homecoming reads low too. That one is meant to.

Does anything actually change here, or does it say the same thing again?

Scenes. The weakest row on the chart. Scene after scene leaves everyone exactly where it found them.

Sequences. Grouped into sequences, most of the film lifts. Act 1’s sequences do not.

Acts. So the first act is the only one that stays red — Lip’s prejudice is set up, then set up again.

Script. As strong as this film gets. Across the whole story he is unmistakably a different man.

The change you felt was real. Almost none of it happened inside a scene.

Nowhere else in the film do the parts and the whole disagree this much.

No notes on that one yet. Try Triage, Consequence or Clarity.

Almost nothing here holds, at any size.

Scenes. Two are not at the bottom — scene 4 and scene 13. Everything else is.

Sequences. A handful step up. The rest sit exactly where their scenes do.

Acts. All four come back at the bottom.

Script. The same.

When a screenplay fails everywhere, the four rows agree — which is worth seeing once, because on most scripts they do not.

Does anything here cause what comes next?

Scenes. Four stand clear of the rest: the morning argument, the seduction, the confession, and the announcement at the party. Those are the only scenes that hand anything to the one after them.

Sequences. Three carry it — Devastating Discovery, Birthday Masquerade, The Celebration and Announcement — against a flat floor everywhere else.

Acts. None of it survives the jump. The acts read as low as the dead sequences, not as high as the live ones.

Script. Bottom. Whatever those four scenes set up, the film never collects on it.

A plot that moves in four jolts with dead air in between, and none of it reaches the acts.

Can you follow what is happening?

Scenes. The one reading with no scene at the floor. Taken one at a time, you can tell who wants what.

Sequences. Better again. A few scenes together still track.

Acts. It halves. The same material, grouped larger, stops being followable.

Script. Bottom, with everything else.

Every scene is followable. The film they add up to is not — and that gap is the whole diagnosis.

Clarity runs high on most screenplays, so the number is not the point here. The shape is: of every produced screenplay in our library, this one falls hardest as the units get bigger. Plan 9 from Outer Space is second. Nothing else comes close.

No notes on that one yet. Try Triage or Pressure.

The same screenplay, read at four sizes — and it holds at every one.

Scenes. Most hold. The ones that don’t are all the same kind of scene — someone stopping to explain the world. Even in a script this strong, exposition is where it sags.

Sequences. Every run of scenes holds, start to finish. Most scripts drop at least one.

Acts. All four hold, as they do in most good scripts.

Script. Keep.

Nothing here needs finding — which is the point of showing it. And it is not strong in one department: switch Colour by to Design, then Execution, then Read, and the picture barely changes. Most screenplays are lopsided across those three.

Its own first note is economy: trim the training sequences. The read does not even count that as a miss.

Now change the reading above, and the same four rows say something else.

Is anything forcing this to happen now?

Scenes. One stretch runs low — the scenes aboard the ship, after Neo takes the pill and before the Oracle.

Sequences. Only one sequence goes with them: 2a-6, the call to the Oracle.

Acts. The act above absorbs it completely and comes back strong.

Script. Strong. The film always has somewhere to be.

The one place this film goes quiet is the one place its enemy cannot reach. Nothing in the Matrix can touch a scene set on the Nebuchadnezzar.

It recovers the moment they plug back in — and it is a dip inside a script whose scenes carry more force than almost any screenplay in the library. That stretch is quiet for this film, not for the field.
