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.
