Pacing Insight
Last updated June 10, 2026 · 2 min read
Inside a chapter, which passages drag / rush — finer than book-level pacing.
What it checks
Pacing Scan reads the whole chapter and looks for:
- Slow sections — passages that drag and could be tightened
- Rushed sections — passages that move too fast and need more room
- Tension curve — whether the pace varies instead of staying flat
What you get back
Like the other AI Insight analyses, the result is a short summary plus a list of suggestions. Each suggestion shows:
- A severity badge — High (red), Medium (amber), or Low (grey)
- The original passage struck through next to a suggested rewrite
- A short explanation of why the pacing is off and how the rewrite helps
Start with the High-severity items — those are the passages that affect the chapter most.
