What the diagnostics measure

Content Ratio

See exactly how much of your scene is dialogue, narrative description, or physical action — and whether the balance serves your genre.

Tension Curve

The AI identifies 4–8 distinct beats in your scene and scores each for stakes and tension, revealing flat spots and peaks at a glance.

Sensory Balance

Checks which of the five senses appear in your prose and surfaces verbatim examples, so you can see where immersion is strong or missing.
