What you’re looking at

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.

CharacterInconsistencies
  • Character Irène
    Description Irène's motivations and actions seem to shift abruptly. Initially, she appears driven by a desire for a luxurious lifestyle and stability, even willing to marry Jacques for it. However, she later abandons this goal for a passionate romance with Jean, despite his financial instability. While people can change, the transition lacks a clear catalyst or internal conflict, making it feel somewhat inconsistent.
    ( Scene 7   Scene 32   )
  • Character Jean
    Description Jean's transformation from a timid and insecure employee to a confident and assertive individual happens quickly without a convincing arc. The shift is primarily triggered by material possessions and Irène's guidance, rather than a genuine internal growth or realization. This makes his newfound confidence feel slightly unearned and out of character.
    ( Scene 11   Scene 34   )
StoryInconsistencies
  • Description The consequences of Jean's credit card fraud are inconsistently portrayed. Initially, the hotel takes immediate action, involving the police and demanding payment. However, later, Jean seems to freely use the card for luxury purchases without any repercussions. This inconsistency creates a logical gap in the story's internal logic and raises questions about the hotel's security measures and financial practices.
    ( Scene 54   Scene 76   )
PlotHoles
  • Description After spending the night with Irène, Jean manages to leave the suite unnoticed despite the presence of security and staff in a high-end hotel. While it's possible he could have slipped out, the ease with which he does so stretches believability and feels like a convenient plot device to avoid complications.
    ( Scene 16   )
  • Description It remains unclear how Irène is able to afford a luxurious hotel room after being abandoned by Gilles. While the script hints at her resourcefulness, the source of her sudden financial independence is never explained, leaving a gap in the narrative logic.
    ( Scene 106   )
DialogueAuthenticity
  • Description The dialogue during intimate moments between Jean and Irène often feels overly theatrical and expository. The characters engage in lengthy monologues and poetic declarations that seem unnatural and out of place in the context of a passionate encounter. This stylized dialogue may detract from the authenticity and emotional impact of these scenes.
    ( Scene 31   Scene 44   )
Redundancies
  • Element Scenes of Irène attracting wealthy men
    ( Scene 38   Scene 110   )
    Suggestion While these scenes showcase Irène's skills and determination, they become somewhat repetitive as the story progresses. Consider streamlining or combining these scenes to maintain narrative momentum and avoid redundancy.
  • Element Jean's internal struggle with morality
    ( Scene 51   Scene 75   )

Jacques - Score: 44/100

Foundational Definition
Score: 5
Jacques is an older man, around seventy years old, who seems to embody wealth and privilege. He has a casual attitude towards relationships and does not seem to take his romance with Irène seriously. This lack of seriousness contributes to the perception of him as somewhat frivolous or self-absorbed, as demonstrated by his drunkenness and irresponsible behavior throughout the screenplay. Jacques's character appears to be emblematic of the wealthy elite who engage in shallow romantic escapades. His establishment in the story as Irène's partner brings conflict, as he represents the stagnant, superficial aesthetic of the upper class.
Values And Beliefs: Wealth equates to personal worth., Relationships can be treated lightly.
Strengths And Skills: Charisma and charm used to attract women., Financial security.
Suggestions

  • How does Jacques handle conflict in his personal life?
Complexity And Depth
Score: 4
While Jacques outwardly seems carefree and charming, he lacks emotional depth, reflecting issues such as fear of commitment and an inability to connect with Irène on a meaningful level. His alcoholism could also be seen as a flaw that diminishes his desirability and influences his reckless behavior, such as neglecting Irène's needs. This internal conflict complicates his character, as he appears disoriented and detached when interacting with the younger characters. His superficial lifestyle juxtaposes the more earnest characters like Jean, setting the stage for their eventual rivalry.
Character Wound: Fear of vulnerability or intimacy.
Character Flaws: Alcoholism., Superficial approach to relationships.
Suggestions

  • How does Jacques cope with loneliness during moments of clarity?
Arc Or Purposeful Stasis
Score: 3
Jacques embodies a purposeful stasis as he continues his superficial existence without any significant character development throughout the screenplay. His refusal to change after multiple interactions with Irène and Jean points to a greater commentary on the impact of wealth on personal development, suggesting that money can mask but not resolve emotional issues. He does not show signs of personal growth or reflection, demonstrating a resignation to who he is and how he interacts with others.
Transformation Triggers: His relationship with Irène highlights his emotional stagnation.
Suggestions
  • Explore moments that might challenge his stance on relationships.
  • Show consequences of his actions that lead to a potential epiphany.
Follow-up Questions
  • What would it take for Jacques to realize his emotional shortcomings?
  • How does Jacques's behavior affect those around him?
Dialogue And Voice
Score: 5
Jacques's speech is characterized by joviality mixed with a hint of arrogance. He often fails to engage in deep conversations, which allows him to evade emotional attachment. His lines are filled with flippant remarks that reveal a lack of seriousness about relationships, and they highlight his disconnection from Irène’s emotional needs. This pattern in his dialogue effectively establishes him as the archetypal wealthy playboy who uses charm as a defense mechanism against vulnerability.
Unique Voice: Often dismissive and carelessly charming.
Suggestions
  • Include more reflective or self-aware dialogue.
  • Contrast his light-hearted speech with moments of tension.
Follow-up Questions
  • How does Jacques respond when confronted with emotional situations?
  • What dialogues reveal Jacques's true feelings about his relationships?
Behavior And Choices
Score: 4
Jacques's behaviors reflect his motivations for shallow escapades rather than meaningful relationships. His decision-making often lacks foresight, leading to conflicts with Irène. For example, his alcoholism not only distances him from her but also reflects his coping mechanisms. His cluelessness about Irène’s emotional state indicates how disconnected he is from the needs of those around him, showcasing a selfish streak that ultimately leads to his isolation.
Motivations: To maintain a carefree lifestyle and avoid emotional attachment.
Desires Vs Needs: External desire for companionship versus the internal need for genuine connection.
Suggestions
  • Deepen the portrayal of Jacques’s consequential decision-making.
  • Show how his choices impact both his relationship with Irène and his self-perception.
Follow-up Questions
  • How do Jacques's behaviors affect his relationship with Irène?
  • What prompts Jacques to choose escapism over genuine connection?
Relationship Dynamics
Score: 5
The relationship Jacques has with Irène is highlights primarily through his disregard for her emotional needs. Although he demonstrates moments of charm, these are overshadowed by his self-serving behavior and drunkenness. Jacques embodies a toxic dynamic that reflects wealth-driven superficiality. This dynamic ultimately detracts from Irène's growth and causes tension between characters, specifically as Jean represents a stark contrast to Jacques’s demeanor.
Suggestions
  • Introduce moments that illustrate the potential for depth in his relationship.
  • Highlight either conflict or moments of connection that shift perceptions.
Follow-up Questions
  • How does Jacques's behavior in this relationship echo his past?
  • What could create a moment of conflict between Jacques and Jean?
Scene Impact
Score: 4
Jacques’s actions often introduce tension, primarily through his careless arrogance. His drunkenness contrasts sharply with the more earnest characters and serves to highlight their struggles. For example, his entrance into scenes often undercuts emotional moments for other characters, such as Irène’s longing for genuine connection.

Scene-Level Percentile Chart

📊 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.

🎬
A 5 is fine — here's how scene scores read
0–2not working
3–4weak
5–6functional ★
7–8strong
9–10exceptional

“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).

Why your numbers look lower than they used to

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.

The table below 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.
