A paired look at                                and a                                    inside an AI-assisted writing tool. The goal was to compress a full draft into signals you can act on, then reflect those signals visually so imbalance becomes obvious in seconds. It’s analysis first, visualization second, both working as one loop.

This direction came out of a larger body of work. I produced 100+ pages of research on how editors read manuscripts and make judgments, then translated that into product decisions. A lot of it stays hidden here editor interviews, annotation frameworks, failure modes of LLM critique, genre comparisons but it shaped what deserves to be surfaced and what should stay out of the UI.

Under the hood I explored multiple paths                                                                                                                                                and reduced them into a small set of signals that feel stable enough to show. The spider chart then turns those signals into a “shape” of the book, avoiding false precision by rounding, grouping, and limiting granularity.

The hardest constraint was trust. Both the analysis and the chart can easily overclaim. So the interface stays directional, not absolute, with blurred parts covering                                                   . The intent was simple: give authors a fast read on their draft, highlight where it leans or breaks, and get out of the way.
