Score signals

Signal	What was measured	Strength	Impact
Message-first dialogue	How much the dialogue, monologues, or character interactions feel driven by overt messaging, moral lecturing, ideological framing, or making a point instead of serving the story naturally.	1/20	+1
Ideology over story	How much the overall storytelling prioritizes ideological framing, message delivery, social commentary, or activism-coded narrative choices over pacing, conflict, immersion, and entertainment.	1/20	+1
Protected protagonist pattern	How much the protagonist fits the protected-protagonist pattern (agenda-driven character construction) rather than competence fantasy. Score HIGH only when: competence appears unearned or unexplained; protagonist rarely faces consequences; antagonists exist mainly to demonstrate protagonist superiority; narrative treats protagonist as symbolically superior; plot shields protagonist from vulnerability. Score LOW when: competence is grounded in training, profession, or past experience; protagonist suffers damage or setbacks; real physical danger and survival tension exist (normal action storytelling). Do not penalize competence fantasy.	2/20	+1
Cultural normalization framing	How much the title repeatedly frames a specific social model, identity/sexuality framing, lifestyle, family structure, or set of values as culturally meaningful, normalizing, morally instructive, or aspirational. Increase score when the work itself is explicitly positioned around that cultural proposition - through narrative, marketing, advocacy, or identity-specific educational/sexual content. Mere presence of any demographic or an incidental relationship is not enough.	1/20	+1
