# Coverage > A professional reader’s report on a script — logline, synopsis, comments, and a verdict such as Pass / Consider / Recommend. Inkwell’s Script Coverage skill produces a structured self-review in that industry shape. ## In practice Coverage exists so busy executives can decide whether to read the full script. The familiar shape — logline, synopsis, comments, ratings, verdict — is a decision instrument. Writers can use the same shape as a pre-submission mirror: if your own coverage cannot state the story cleanly, the draft usually is not ready. Inkwell's Script Coverage skill produces a structured self-review in that industry shape so you can pressure-test clarity, character, and structure on a cold pass. It is analysis-only: it does not rewrite lines, and it is not a studio guarantee that a particular reader or company will agree with the verdict. Read coverage for diagnosis, not for obedience. A Consider with sharp notes can be more useful than a flattering Recommend that cannot name the engine. Fix the story problems the report exposes, then run again — or send the draft out when the synopsis and comments stop contradicting the pages.

Download the script coverage template when you want the same report shape as a form — logline, synopsis, evidence, verdict, next action — without running the skill. ### Is Inkwell's Script Coverage the same as studio coverage? It follows the same report shape — top sheet, synopsis, comments, ratings, verdict — so you can pressure-test the draft. It is still a tool you run, not a promise that a particular studio reader will agree. ### Will Script Coverage rewrite my script? No. Script Coverage is analysis-only. It does not change lines; it tells you how the story reads on a cold pass so you can decide what to fix. ### What does Pass / Consider / Recommend mean? They are classic reader verdicts. Pass declines; Consider sees potential with issues; Recommend urges a fuller read or next step. Treat them as signals, not destiny — especially on a self-review run. ### Should I attach AI coverage when I submit? Usually no. Coverage is for your diagnosis or an assignee's internal process. Submit the script (and requested materials); do not outsource the reader's job with a leftover report. ## Related terms - [Logline](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/logline): One or two sentences that capture protagonist, conflict, and stakes — the shortest honest pitch of the story. - [Synopsis](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/synopsis): A compact prose telling of the full story — including the ending — used in coverage, applications, and pitch materials. - [Spec script](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/spec-script): A screenplay written on speculation — no deal yet — meant to sell the story or showcase craft.
