Script Scoring
A clear, independent look at where your script is now.
When you've been living with a script for months - sometimes years - it becomes difficult to see it objectively.
A Trueish Script Diagnostic gives you an independent assessment of what's on the page now: what's working, what isn't, and where there may be opportunities you've stopped seeing.
We don't rewrite your story for you.
We show you the dots. You decide how to connect them.
How We Diagnose Your Script
Your script is assessed across the key elements that make a screenplay work:
Concept & Story
Is there a strong central idea and does the story deliver on it?
Character
Are the characters distinctive, believable and worth investing in?
Structure & Pacing
Does the story progress effectively? Where does it move, stall or lose momentum?
Dialogue
Do the characters sound real and individual? Is the dialogue doing enough?
World & Tone
Does the script establish a convincing world and maintain its identity?
Originality
What feels distinctive about the project?
Audience & Potential
Who is this for, and how clearly does the script communicate what it wants to be?
Each area is scored out of 10, giving you a clear picture of where the script is now and where its development potential lies.
The scores give you a benchmark. The diagnostic tells you why.
We Show You The Dots
Sometimes the answer to a problem is already somewhere in the script.
Sometimes it was in an earlier draft. A character may have been introduced but never fully used. A relationship might need more room. A scene could be doing less work than you think. Something removed three drafts ago might actually solve a problem you're struggling with today. We'll identify those things and show you where the connections might exist.
But we're not going to connect every dot for you.
It's your story. The imagination and creativity should remain yours.
We Can Look Back As Well As Forward
If you have previous drafts, send them.
We can compare how the script has developed and identify what has been added, removed or changed — including elements that may have been lost during rewriting.
You can also give us the films, television programmes, writers, directors or other work that influenced the project.
That gives us something important:
context.
We're not assessing whether your script is the story we'd write.
We're assessing how successfully it's becoming the story you're trying to tell.
A detailed written diagnostic of your screenplay, supported by clear scoring across the key areas, showing you:
-
What's working
-
What's holding the script back
-
Where we're seeing missed opportunities
-
Connections you may not have seen
-
Relevant observations from previous drafts, where supplied
-
How successfully the script reflects your stated influences and intentions
No rewrite.
No attempt to take ownership of your story.
A structured development diagnostic — showing you the dots you may be too close to see.
