# Overview

Story Health gathers analytical signals about the project: metric shape, pacing, revision status, scene purpose, warnings, plot threads, assets, POV, character appearances and location use.

These signals are advisory. They help you find places to investigate; they do not decide what the story should become.

# When Should I Use This?

Use Story Health during revision, after structural changes, before drafting a new section, or when a project feels uneven and you need to know where to look.

# How To Use It

Start with the broad counts, then open the sections that match your concern. If pacing feels flat, check metric shape and pacing review. If continuity feels shaky, check warnings and asset health.

# Example

A long character absence may be fine in one genre and a problem in another. Story Health points it out so you can decide.

# Writer Tip

Use analytics as a flashlight, not a steering wheel.

# Common Mistakes

- Treating every imbalance as a flaw.
- Revising to satisfy a chart instead of the story.
- Ignoring repeated warnings after a major restructure.
