Clarity Gate

Before voicing, fresh cheap readers (a 12 year old, a non-native speaker, a distracted viewer) read the script. Lint first, then headless reader calls about $0.03 a round. Narration changed after a pass must pass again.

What to say

Run the clarity gate on this script and tell me which beats fail.

How it works

Good to know

If a beat keeps failing, cut it instead of patching (the cap warning appears after round 3)
