The direct answer
What does this ScriptForge feature do?
ScriptForge Coverage is a concise whole-script report, roughly three pages, built around a logline, synopsis, scored notes and a Pass, Consider or Recommend verdict. It is designed to give writers and producers a consistent first read without pretending that one verdict can replace their own judgement.
Choose another route when
- You need a deeper development diagnosis across the entire draft
- Only the opening pages are ready for focused feedback
- You already have notes and need to order the next rewrite
Inside the result
What you can actually use
Logline and synopsis
A compact statement of the premise followed by a clear account of the full story, including the ending. This shows whether the screenplay communicates the film it intends to communicate.
Scored craft assessment
A consistent set of scores and written reasons covering the central craft questions in the report. The written evidence matters more than the number on its own.
Strengths, weaknesses and verdict
The report identifies what is already carrying the read, what is holding it back and whether the current draft lands as Pass, Consider or Recommend.
A useful workflow
From the current draft to the next decision
- 1
Use the draft you actually want assessed
Keep the report attached to one named version. Coverage is only useful when you can tell which pages produced the conclusion.
- 2
Read the synopsis before the scores
If the report understands the story differently from the writer, that gap is useful evidence about what the pages currently communicate.
- 3
Trace each score back to the notes
A number without a reason is not a rewrite instruction. Use the written analysis to find the earliest scene where the issue begins.
- 4
Choose one next action
Run a deeper evaluation, focus on the opening, build a rewrite plan or prepare the draft for its next reader. Coverage should end in a decision.

Read coverage beside the deeper reports
Compare Logan's Coverage with Full Evaluation, First Ten and a Rewrite Action Plan. Each report reads the same screenplay with a different purpose, from a first verdict to detailed revision priorities.

Understanding Script Coverage
Learn what coverage is for, what belongs in the report and how to use a verdict without surrendering your own judgement.

Keep the result in its proper place
- Coverage is an automated development aid, not a guarantee of contest, representation, finance or production outcomes.
- A Pass, Consider or Recommend verdict is a structured reading of the current draft, not objective truth.
- Important submission and greenlight decisions still require human judgement and a full reading of the screenplay.
