Evaluation depth
RevisionGrade should not pretend a short excerpt can support the same diagnosis as a full manuscript. The evaluation mode controls what the report can responsibly claim.
Under 25,000 words
For openings, chapters, excerpts, short stories, and partial submissions. Uses the 13 story criteria only; it does not claim full-manuscript continuity or WAVE-level repair governance.
25,000+ words
For substantial manuscripts where RevisionGrade can assess manuscript-scale behavior: continuity, recurrence, payoff, pacing over distance, character development, and structural readiness.
Complex 25,000+ word manuscripts
For deeper architecture review using layered story evidence, long-form continuity, proprietary repair governance where appropriate, and structural repair priorities.
