Report guide
Structure and Outline
The report is mapping chapter or section structure so you can inspect the manuscript's shape.
What This Means
Structure and outline flags are usually navigational. They summarize section movement, order, and shape so you can see whether the story's architecture matches your intent.
Worth Reviewing When
- A chapter's purpose is unclear or hard to summarize.
- A section appears out of order or disconnected from surrounding movement.
- The outline shows missing escalation, repeated beats, or uneven distribution of story turns.
Often Fine When
- The manuscript is intentionally fragmented, experimental, or nonlinear.
- A quiet section is doing atmosphere, interiority, or thematic work.
- The report is an overview rather than a correction request.
How To Review It
- 1Read the extracted outline as a story map.
- 2Check whether each section changes something: pressure, knowledge, emotion, decision, or relationship.
- 3Mark sections that need clearer purpose, placement, or transition.
