A GENUINE SCRIPTACCESS EVALUATION

This one
is real.

A real screenplay. A real SA-EVAL assessment. Real criticism, published so you can judge the depth and reasoning for yourself.

WHAT THE EVALUATION CONTAINS

The score is
only the beginning.

01 / SCORE

Category scores

Premise, plot, character, dialogue and structure are assessed individually before the overall result is reached.

02 / ANALYSIS

Detailed assessment

Strengths and weaknesses are explained through specific observations about the screenplay rather than generic reactions.

03 / MARKET

Market perspective

Commercial positioning and audience considerations are examined separately from the craft assessment.

04 / REWRITE

Prioritised revision

The report identifies the changes most likely to materially strengthen the next draft, rather than producing an indiscriminate list of notes.

THE POINT OF PUBLISHING IT

Don't take
our word for it.

A sample evaluation is only useful if it shows what the service actually delivers. Zero Sum was not created as marketing material and its evaluation was not rewritten to make ScriptAccess look better.

It received an overall score of 7/10 and a raw weighted score of 7.40. The report identifies what works, what does not, where the screenplay loses force and what should be addressed in the rewrite.

The purpose is transparency: read the evaluation and decide whether the reasoning earns the score.
ONE SCREENPLAY / TWO EVALUATIONS

Same screenplay.
Two evaluations.
Judge for yourself.

Zero Sum received two very different assessments. Rather than tell you which evaluation to trust, we are publishing the screenplay and both evaluations so you can read the evidence and make up your own mind.

SA
REAL WORK. PUBLISHED WITH PERMISSION.

Zero Sum is the writer's genuine screenplay and the evaluations shown here are genuine evaluations of that work. The complete screenplay is available so both assessments can be read against the underlying material. ScriptAccess's evaluation was not rewritten or adjusted in response to the Black List evaluation.

THE PRINCIPLE

The work first.
The evidence second.
The score last.

SA-EVAL is designed to make the reasoning behind an evaluation as important as the number attached to it.

A score should be the consequence of the assessment, not a number looking for an explanation afterwards.

We don't promise you a good score. We promise you a score we can explain.
