Story Submissions

You already know the wrong story will cost you. You just don't have a system for finding the right one.

Forty-seven submissions in your inbox. A production budget waiting. A manager who will second-guess whatever you recommend. And no defensible reason to pick one story over another.

We built Story Submissions so your team stops sorting email and starts making decisions backed by scored, structured evidence.

Human confirmed. Evidence backed. Delivered before production starts.

Better stories start with better decisions.

Four steps from inbox chaos to defensible shortlist.

01

We send your intake link

Your submitters get a guided form — not a blank text box. Each question is designed to surface the story elements that actually matter: the turning point, the stakes, the outcome.

02

Every story is evaluated

Our AI scores each submission across six categories: emotional resonance, narrative structure, audience fit, authenticity, specificity, and production readiness.

03

A human reviews every score

A credentialed communications professional reviews every AI evaluation before results leave our system. No score reaches you without human sign-off.

04

You get a ranked shortlist

Advance. Develop. Hold. Pass. Every submission gets a decision and a reason. You walk into the production meeting with evidence, not instinct.

What you receive

A ranked shortlist you can walk into any meeting with.

Ranked shortlist

Every submission scored and ranked. Strongest first. Weakest last. No guessing.

Decision per story

Advance. Develop. Hold. Pass. Each decision includes the reasoning behind it.

Pattern analysis

What separated the top stories from the rest — so you know what to look for next time.

Next move

Executive brief

A PDF summary ready for leadership. Available on Story Selection and above.

Human sign-off

Every result reviewed by a credentialed communications professional before delivery.

Our standard

No evaluation leaves our system without a human reviewing it first.

Every AI-generated score is reviewed by a communications professional with real-world experience in journalism, brand storytelling, or content strategy before it reaches you. We use AI to evaluate at scale. We use human judgment to make sure the evaluation is right.
