Editor's 5-dimension pass
3 min read
AI Editor doesn't only give an overall score — it splits into five independent dimensions with observations and suggestions per dimension.
Five dimensions
| Dimension | What |
|---|---|
| Story & Structure | Narrative structure, theme depth, plot logic |
| Character Depth | Character arcs, motivation, dialogue, relationships |
| Pacing & Tension | Hooks, DNF risk, tension curve |
| Prose Craft | Show/Tell, voice, style consistency |
| Market Fit | Target-audience positioning, genre conventions |
Plus an Editorial Summary — a combined report with prioritized actions across all five dimensions.
Per-dimension layout
Each gets its own section:
Score
0–10 + a brief summary (one or two sentences)
Observations
AI cites passages flagging strengths / weaknesses:
"In Chapter 3 you wrote 'stormy and rain-lashed' — slightly worn phrasing. Try…"
Suggestions
Edits ordered by severity.
Severity tags
Each suggestion:
- 🔴 Must-fix (significantly affects readers)
- 🟡 Recommended (medium impact)
- 🟢 Optional (polish-level)
See: Severity & QA block
Partial runs
You can run a subset (e.g. "only Structure + Character") — lower cost, sharper focus.
The "5-dimension checkboxes" in set-up control which dimensions run.
Editor 5 dimensions vs Reader 7 diagnostics
| 5 dimensions (editor) | 7 diagnostics (reader) | |

| Angle | Editor | Reader |
| What | Is the content good | How readers will experience it |
| Grain | Dimension | Chapter + persona |
Most useful together.
