Scorecard for The Psion Dilema

1. Concept - 9/10

A psychologically driven internal thriller framed as a spy mission — inventive and layered. The “Project Psion” idea is compelling, metaphor-rich, and cinematic.

​

2. Characterization - 9/10

Jack is emotionally nuanced, and his internal agents (KP, Tensh, etc.) reflect distinct aspects of his psyche. Amy is grounded and real. KP is a highlight.

​

3. Structure - 8.5/10

Classic three-act shape with a steadily building inner conflict and an earned emotional climax. Smart use of turning points. May slightly test early readers with slow-burn Act I.

​

4. Theme Execution - 9.5/10

The central dilemma — control vs. vulnerability, isolation vs. connection — is sustained throughout and resolved with clarity and restraint. One of the script’s greatest strengths.

​

5. Dialogue - 8.5/10

Subtle, authentic, and often layered. Dr. Hayward, Amy, and KP all speak in distinctly believable voices. Could be tightened slightly in places for rhythm.

​

6. Tone & Voice - 9/10

Balanced and consistent — quietly suspenseful without veering into melodrama. Maintains a mature, controlled voice throughout.

​

7. Pacing - 8/10

The story unfolds with care — slower early pacing may test some readers, but revisions have successfully introduced early movement and urgency.

​

8. Cinematic Execution - 9/10

Excellent use of visual metaphor: the darkroom, the apartment, the “note,” the personified characters — all lend themselves to striking on-screen imagery.

​

9. Emotional Impact - 9/10

Jack’s final act — discarding the note, choosing connection — is subtle but powerful. KP’s death is surprisingly moving. The emotional throughline resonates.

​

10. Originality / Market Distinction - 9.5/10

This script is distinct. It blends character-driven drama with genre stylings in a way that’s both accessible and intellectually rewarding. Hard to compare — a good thing.
