Episode pacing workbench
See how a story changes lanes.
Annotate each beat once. The braid exposes arc coverage, emotional reversals, and recurrence without turning craft into an arbitrary score.
Required: minute, arc, tone, intensity 1–5, beat. Tones: hopeful, tender, sad, comic, tense, conflict. Sample times are review-derived annotations, not official episode timecodes.

Strongest adjacent pivot—Analyze the ordered beats to locate the largest valence change.
Recurrence evidence—Repeated arcs show whether plot threads return after other material.
