How do I score a character's narrative weight and role suitability?▼

You can diagnose mismatched character roles by using the mismatch diagnostic feature, which identifies patterns like Scene Stealer, Invisible Protagonist, Over-designed Background, and Buried Potential, providing actionable guidance to correct role imbalance.

What is a Character Weight score in character design?▼

A Character Weight (CW) score is a quantified metric of a character's narrative weight, calculated by applying a weighted scoring model to a 24-item rubric during character analysis to determine their overall impact on the story.

How do I check if my protagonist has too much or too little narrative weight?▼

You can check protagonist narrative weight by running a mismatch diagnostic on the character's settings, which detects specific patterns like Scene Stealer or Invisible Protagonist and delivers actionable feedback to refine role balance.

When should I analyze character roles during the writing process?▼

You should analyze character roles during early character development or final draft reviews, using the CW and role-suitability scores to tweak narrative weight and ensure proper role balance across Protagonist, Supporting, and Background categories.

Can I use the character role analyzer for worldbuilding and writing prompts?▼

Yes, you can apply the character analysis directly to writing prompts and worldbuilding to evaluate role suitability, producing a Character Weight score and mismatch diagnostics to refine story structure and character design.
