Coverage that moves scripts forward.
Script coverage is meant to open doors.
Too often, it just closes them.
Script coverage is meant to open doors. Too often, it just closes them.
dev|cut. was built to change that — finding what's standing between a script's strengths and a 'yes', delivering a clear path forward.
Built by a working development professional and powered by the most sophisticated script intelligence in the industry, dev|cut. delivers deep, layered analysis across structure, character, dialogue, and format — even buyer-fit, something virtually no other coverage service attempts.
One guiding philosophy drives all of it: great coverage is a creative ally, not a gatekeeper. dev|cut. is coverage that moves scripts forward.
Three capabilities that no other coverage service brings together.
Layered coverage across structure, character, dialogue, and format. Nothing surface-level.
Buyer-fit assessment built in — something virtually no other coverage service attempts.
Feedback that respects creative agency. Notes that open doors, not close them.
"Great coverage is a creative ally, not a gatekeeper."
