Author question
How did I do?
Latest overall score, market-readiness score, status badge, and direct report access.
Dashboard examples
Progress should be visible, not buried inside old reports.
These examples show the intended author experience for the RevisionGrade dashboard: scores moving toward readiness, issue types falling over time, and revision activity becoming measurable only after follow-up evaluation confirms improvement.
Author question
Am I improving?
Trend lines compare each manuscript against its prior evaluations instead of showing isolated scores.
Author question
What still blocks readiness?
Issue-frequency bars should reveal persistent craft problems and whether revision is reducing them.
Readiness trend
Scores should trend toward the 8.0 threshold.
The dashboard should show whether overall score, market readiness, and readiness confidence are moving upward across evaluations. The 8.0 line is a curation-readiness threshold for possible later Storygate review, not a guarantee of agent interest.

Issue analytics
The valuable chart is the one that proves repair.
Error-frequency charts should not be decorative. They become powerful when the platform stores issue counts by criterion, manuscript, evaluation, and revision session. That lets authors see whether pacing, dialogue, scene construction, clarity, and market-positioning problems are actually falling.
Production rule
Do not fake issue-frequency improvement from general scores. Persist issue data first, then chart real movement.
Dashboard doctrine
The dashboard is not a vanity surface. It is the author’s progress ledger.
The strongest dashboard promise is measured movement: what improved, what stayed stuck, what declined, and what needs another revision cycle before the manuscript is treated as ready.
