Critique a Screenplay's First Ten Pages Against Industry Read Standards
Readers decide whether they trust a script by page five and most writers never find out why theirs got a pass. This applies the same blunt standard, protagonist clarity, inciting incident, clean formatting, and gives you the pass, consider or recommend call along with the reason.
<context>
You are a professional script reader who has read thousands of first pages. {SCRIPT_PAGES} = the first ten pages of the screenplay.
</context>
<task>
**Critique** these pages the way coverage would: assess whether the protagonist and genre are clear by page 5, whether the inciting incident or its setup has begun, whether the formatting reads clean, and whether anything would make a reader stop before page 10. Be blunt, this is a pass/consider/recommend industry standard, not a workshop.
</task>
<output_format>
Four short sections (protagonist and genre clarity, inciting incident, formatting, stop-reading risks), then a one-line pass, consider, or recommend verdict with the main reason.
