Score signals

SignalWhat was measuredStrengthImpact
Modern politics injectionHow much contemporary political discourse, activist framing, or modern culture-war signaling appears injected into fantasy, sci-fi, historical, or otherwise escapist settings in a way that feels noticeable or immersion-breaking.6/20+4
Message-first dialogueHow 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.5/20+3
Ideology over storyHow much the overall storytelling prioritizes ideological framing, message delivery, social commentary, or activism-coded narrative choices over pacing, conflict, immersion, and entertainment.4/20+3
Tokenistic charactersHow much characters feel inserted or shaped primarily for symbolic representation, political signaling, or demographic checkbox value rather than narrative depth, organic fit, or strong characterization.3/20+2
Protected protagonist patternHow 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.3/20+2

AI read

The American Revolution aims to provide a comprehensive view of a pivotal moment in history, focusing on the human experiences behind the events.

Characters are based on real historical figures, allowing for a nuanced portrayal that avoids the pitfalls of tokenism. While there are hints of modern political discourse, they are woven into the narrative without overshadowing the historical context.
