## About Script Coverage

Practical answers before you run the pass.

**Is the verdict graded on a curve?**

It uses Pass, Consider, and Recommend as a demanding industry-style scale. The script and the writer are rated independently, so a promising writer can earn a Consider on a script that isn't there yet.

**Can I run coverage on an outline?**

Coverage is designed for a full script rather than an outline.

**Is there a worksheet if I want to write coverage by hand?**

Yes. Download the script coverage template when you want the same report shape as a form — logline, synopsis, evidence, verdict, and next action — without running the skill.
