Dashboard four metrics
Last updated June 2, 2026 · 3 min read
The report's top "Overview" always shows 4 metrics + an attention curve — the state of your draft in 5 seconds.
The 4 overview metrics
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continue-reading willingness (0-10) | How much readers want to keep going after this passage |
| Recommendation index (0-10) | How willing readers are to recommend the book |
| DNF risk (High / Medium / Low) | Risk that readers drop off midway |
| Kindle predicted rating (★, out of 5) | If simulated readers rated it on Kindle, roughly how many stars |
Attention curve
Below the metrics is an attention curve: paragraphs (§1, §2…) on the x-axis, reader engagement (0–100%) on the y-axis, marking engaged passages and attention dips — so you see at a glance where readers start to drift. A one-line summary sits beneath it (e.g. "§1-2: the lighthouse character is reliable, the setting is clear").
Reading the 4 metrics together
| You see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Low continue-reading willingness | Opening / hook problem → see Opening appeal |
| High DNF risk, curve drops mid-way | Middle loses momentum → see Pacing |
| Low recommendation index | Nothing memorable overall → see Context & market |
| Low Kindle estimate | See Overall + Kindle prediction |
Metrics are relative
These are relative signals from simulated readers, not guarantees. The most useful move is to revise and rerun, then see if the metrics climb. See: Reading history & revisit
