Governed diagnosis.
The system does not ask the author for a vague prompt and produce generic feedback. It reads against a governed manuscript architecture.
RevisionGrade™ · WAVE Readiness System™
Diagnose the manuscript. Then repair it through Revise.
RevisionGrade is a manuscript-readiness and revision system. It evaluates the story across 13 criteria, builds evidence-backed diagnosis, and uses WAVE as a governed readiness layer before repair opportunities enter Revise without erasing the writer's voice.
The public promise
Diagnosis first. Governed repair second.
Story architecture is assessed before refinement. The 13 criteria establish narrative viability. WAVE is the protected readiness layer used before eligible repair opportunities enter Revise.

Not cosmetic polish
Structural repair first.
RevisionGrade separates structural diagnosis from line-level refinement so the wrong intervention does not flatten the manuscript.
Not blind rewriting
Voice protected.
WAVE readiness is bounded by evidence, ordered evaluation, and voice-protection rules. The author remains the final authority.
WAVE Readiness System™
WAVE is the protected readiness layer inside evaluation.
The WAVE Readiness System™ is not a single rewrite command. It is a proprietary, sequenced readiness methodology that turns evidence-backed findings into governed manuscript interventions while protecting the author's voice.
WAVE principle
Evidence before readiness
The system does not revise from a vague prompt. It begins with specific manuscript evidence and a diagnosed editorial reason.
WAVE principle
Sequenced readiness analysis
Readiness findings are ordered by dependency and risk so downstream repair does not mask deeper manuscript problems.
WAVE principle
Voice protection
A downstream repair recommendation can be blocked, softened, or skipped when changing the sentence would damage the authorial signal.
WAVE principle
Author authority
The author can review, accept, reject, keep the original, or use a governed convenience path on a protected copy.
Thirteen story criteria
The criteria decide whether a manuscript is ready for WAVE-level readiness analysis.
Short-form work is evaluated against the 13 criteria only. Long-form work can activate deeper manuscript-scale diagnosis and WAVE readiness when appropriate.

How it works
Evaluation first. WAVE readiness second. Revise with author control.
01
Diagnose the manuscript
RevisionGrade reads the submitted work through the correct evaluation mode: short-form, long-form, or long-form multi-layer.
02
Score the story criteria
The 13 story criteria establish narrative readiness before repair begins. Structural weakness is not treated as simple prose polish.
03
Build the evidence layer
Long-form work can add manuscript-scale continuity and source-integrity checks before repair decisions are generated.
04
Apply WAVE readiness layer
Eligible long-form manuscripts move through WAVE as a governed readiness analysis layer before revision opportunities enter Revise.
05
Revise with control
Authors can work through the Revise Queue manually or use TrustedPath™ to apply eligible recommended repairs to a protected copy.
Why this is different
The author does not need another opinion. The author needs a governed readiness path and repair workflow.

Revise Queue
Manual repair, one opportunity at a time.
WAVE readiness findings can become RevisionOpportunity cards with evidence, severity, repair options, rationale, and explicit author decisions.

One-click governed repair for eligible manuscripts.
TrustedPath™ applies eligible recommended repairs to a duplicate manuscript draft, preserves the original, and generates a change log so convenience does not become blind rewriting.
