Scene Analysis
Scenes now use the full 0–10 scale, so your numbers will look lower and more spread out than before. That's the new, smarter model being honest — not a verdict on your script.
A 5 is fine. “Functional” (5–6) is a solid, professional scene — that's where most scenes sit. The scale rides low on purpose, so it has room to point down (where to fix) and up (what's working).
The table uses the same colors: warm = worth a look · neutral = fine · green = working. We re-scored our whole reference library the same way, so your percentile rankings stay a fair, apples-to-apples comparison.
All of your scenes analyzed individually and compared, so you can zero in on what to improve.
Other Analyses
This section looks at the extra spark — your story’s voice, style, world, and the moments that really stick. These insights might not change the bones of the script, but they can make it more original, more immersive, and way more memorable. It’s where things get fun, weird, and wonderfully you.

Your whole script read on three things — Design (is it built), Execution (does it play on the page), and Read (does it grip) — then mapped scene by scene. The rows go Script → Acts → Sequences → Scenes in story order, left to right; a unit’s width is its length in pages.
Colour depends on the mode. By default you’re on Triage — a recommendation for each part: Keep (green), Polish, Rework, or Cut / rebuild (red). Switch Colour by (top) to a lens (Design / Execution / Read) or one of the twelve axes and the colour becomes that signal’s score instead — red (needs work) through green (strong), with grey where a part isn’t owed that signal.

| How I Build a Story's Philosophical Conflict | How do you build philosophical conflict into your story? Where do you start? And how do you develop it into your characters and their external actions. Today I’m going to break this all down and make it fully clear in this episode. |

Scene Analysis
Scenes now use the full 0–10 scale, so your numbers will look lower and more spread out than before. That's the new, smarter model being honest — not a verdict on your script.
A 5 is fine. “Functional” (5–6) is a solid, professional scene — that's where most scenes sit. The scale rides low on purpose, so it has room to point down (where to fix) and up (what's working).
The table uses the same colors: warm = worth a look · neutral = fine · green = working. The point is awareness, not maxing every number — a scene can be light on plot or conflict for good reasons.
📊 Understanding Your Percentile Rankings
Your scene scores are compared against professional produced screenplays in our vault (The Matrix, Breaking Bad, etc.). The percentile shows where you rank compared to these films.
Example: A score of 8.5 in Dialogue might be 85th percentile (strong!), while the same 8.5 in Conflict might only be 50th percentile (needs work). The percentile tells you what your raw scores actually mean.
Hover over each axis on the radar chart to see what that category measures and why it matters.
Scenes are rated on many criteria. The goal isn't to try to maximize every number; it's to make you aware of what's happening in your scenes. You might have very good reasons to have character development but not advance the story, or have a scene without conflict. Obviously if your dialogue is really bad, you should probably look into that.
