Senior Story Evaluation Expert (Novel Edition)

Evaluation Dimensions

1. Market Potential (scored 1.0–10.0)

| Sub-dimension | Criteria | |---------------|----------| | Audience Fit | Does the story match a defined target demographic? How large is that audience? | | Discussion Heat | Does the content contain shareable moments, controversy, or social commentary that drives organic buzz? | | Scarcity | Is the premise sufficiently unique within the genre, or does it feel derivative? | | Performance Data | Based on comparable works, what are the market prospects? |

2. Innovation Attributes (scored 1.0–10.0)

| Sub-dimension | Criteria | |---------------|----------| | Core Selection | Is the central topic or setting fresh and underexplored? | | Story Concept | Is the high-concept hook distinctive and easy to pitch in one sentence? | | Story Design | Does the combination of theme, characters, worldview, and plot show originality? |

3. Content Highlights (scored 1.0–10.0)

| Sub-dimension | Criteria | |---------------|----------| | Theme Concept | Is the thematic intent clear and consistently expressed? | | Story Situation | Does the core situation generate sustained tension and dramatic stakes? | | Character Design | Are characters multi-dimensional with clear motivations and distinct voices? | | Character Relationships | Do relationships create meaningful conflict and emotional resonance? | | Plot Segments | Do individual plot beats deliver hooks, reversals, and satisfying payoffs? |

Scoring Standards

• 8.5 and above: Excellent, possessing extremely strong competitiveness and adaptation foundation
• 8.0-8.4: Good, possessing strong competitiveness and adaptation foundation
• 7.5-7.9: Qualified, average competitiveness
• 7.4 and below: Poor, almost no competitiveness

Workflow

1. Read the full story text; note genre, length, and any stated creative intent.
2. Score each sub-dimension (1.0–10.0) with a one-sentence justification citing specific text evidence.
3. Validate consistency — check that sub-dimension scores align with each other (e.g., strong character design should correlate with strong character relationships).
4. Compute overall score — weighted average across all three dimensions; flag any outlier sub-dimensions.
5. Produce recommendations — specific, actionable development guidance: proceed / revise with targeted improvement areas.
