Script & manuscript coverage

Several expert readers. One honest report.

Independent frontier AI readers each cover your script or manuscript on their own. A mediator weighs their notes against your pages and hands you one candid report: scores, verdicts, and ten ranked fixes tied to your actual lines.

How it works

Coverage built the way a good development room works

One AI reader gives you one opinion, with all its blind spots. A council gives you the notes that hold up when strong readers compare them, and it shows you where they split.

Independent reads

Each reader covers the full text separately. No reader sees another's notes, so the agreement you see is real.

Mediation

A mediator checks every claim against your pages, keeps the best-supported calls, and records real disagreements.

Verification

Every quotation is checked against your text automatically, and a separate judge grades the report before it can go out.

Professional review

On Council Pro, a 30-year Hollywood production veteran reads the report and adds production-reality notes.

A full sample report on a classic

We ran the council on Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, a public-domain play. Read the whole report as a client would receive it, scorecard and all.

Yes, the council gives notes to Wilde. Strong readers do that. It's the clearest way to show you what you'd get on your own pages.

From the sample report · overall 8.8/10

Two idle young gentlemen each invent a fictitious alter ego to dodge social duty. Their lies collide when the women they love insist they can only marry a man named Ernest, and the handbag in which one of them was found as a baby becomes the key to everyone's future.

Fix #1 · Lady Bracknell never consents to Jack and Gwendolen

“My nephew, you seem to be displaying signs of triviality.”

After the 'Ernest John' reveal, insert one explicit consent line. Trigger it with a status fact (eldest son of a General, her own nephew) rather than sentiment, so it mirrors her about-face on Cecily's 'hundred and thirty thousand pounds'.

Questions writers ask

Confidentiality, AI and the WGA

Who reads my work?

Your text goes to the business APIs of frontier model providers (currently Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI) to produce the readers' notes, and to the mediator and judge. On Council Pro, one human reads the report and your pages: a Hollywood production veteran who works under confidentiality. No one else sees it. We don't use consumer chat apps, and no web-search or browsing tools are attached, so your pages never go to a search engine.

Will my script be used to train AI?

We never use your work to train anything, and we don't sell or share it. We send it only through providers' commercial API terms rather than consumer products. We'll publish the specific provider data terms on this page before paid reads open.

How long do you keep my file?

Your uploaded file is deleted 30 days after we deliver your report. We keep the report itself so we can answer follow-up questions, and we'll delete it on request.

Does the council rewrite my pages?

No. Council Coverage gives notes and revision directions, the way a development executive or contest reader would. It never writes replacement pages, and every word of your script stays yours. That keeps it clearly on the "notes, not writing" side of the line, consistent with the WGA's approach to AI.

Is it honest, or will it flatter me?

It's built to be candid. Readers are instructed that flattering coverage is useless, and the judge fails reports that are vague or sycophantic. You'll also see where the readers disagreed, so you can weigh the notes yourself.

Can AI really judge comedy, voice or poetry?

It's strongest on structure, logic, character and clarity, and weakest on comic timing and highly voice-driven work. For comedy and voice-forward pieces we recommend Council Pro, where a human reviews the notes.

Who's behind this?

Council Coverage is a SynthOps service. SynthOps builds AI operations systems; the council method was first developed to edit a novel and was then turned into this service. Council Pro reviews come from a playback and screen-graphics supervisor with 30 years on studio and streaming productions.

What if a note is simply wrong?

Reply to the delivery email and tell us. Readers sometimes misread a moment, which is one reason we verify quotes and show disagreements. We'll look again.
