How Greenlight Coverage Works: Upload Your Script, Get Coverage in Minutes

You finished a new draft of your screenplay and want professional notes before submission. Traditional coverage takes two to three weeks, and the window to send the script can close before the notes arrive. 

Greenlight Coverage gives screenwriters and producers professional AI script coverage in minutes, with the depth and structure a development executive expects.

How It Works

  1. Upload your script. Select your PDF screenplay file, click “Upload for coverage report,” and choose your script type (Feature Film, TV Pilot, or Short Film). The platform handles the rest from there.
  2. The platform analyzes your full script in a single read. Character arcs, pacing, and structural notes remain consistent throughout the draft.
  3. Your coverage report is ready in 15 to 60 minutes. A notification email lands in your inbox when your report is complete. The Basic plan delivers in one hour, Essential in 30 minutes, and Pro in under 15. Click View next to your script in the dashboard to read the full coverage report.
  4. Every report rates your screenplay across seven categories, each scored out of 10. The scoring covers Character Development, Plot Construction, Dialogue, Originality, Emotional Engagement, Theme and Message, and an Overall Rating. You get a logline, two synopses, genre classification, character profiles, cast suggestions, and a comparable-titles list.
  5. Ask Follow-Up Questions to learn more about any section of the report. Use this feature to ask about specific scenes, characters, or score rationales. The Essential and Pro tiers include unlimited follow-ups; Basic includes ten per month.
  6. Compare drafts side by side. The Rewrite feature compares a new draft against the previous version, so you can revise with clear data on what has improved and what still needs work.

Why Choose Greenlight Coverage?

Instant feedback that doesn’t stop at the first report.

Your initial coverage report arrives in 15 to 60 minutes with plot assessments, character breakdowns, and full scoring.

From there, Follow-Up Questions lets you go deeper on specific notes, and the Rewrite feature keeps the analysis going across every revision.

Data-driven insights backed by tens of thousands of scripts.

Greenlight Coverage has analyzed 45,000+ screenplays. Every report combines per-category scoring with a market-viability score, a list of comparable film titles, and cast suggestions.

Your Script is Safe and Secure

  • Greenlight Coverage never trains its model on the scripts you upload, now or in future versions of the platform. 
  • You hold full ownership of every draft you submit, from upload to final report.
  • The average turnaround is about 25 minutes per script. A human reader can take weeks, which leaves your draft in someone else’s hands far longer.
“It isn’t just the amazing speed but the quality of the coverage package. And to be able to access data, cast suggestions, a list of comps, it is more than I could have thought possible.”
