The coverage Ashley provided was interesting as it included notes.
Here is Disney's studio coverage for Titanic, it’s like what Ashley talked about today, it's a short synopsis with a rubric.
Note: Titanic was bought off James Cameron's pitch by Fox. This is coverage from when the production needed more money and pitched it to other studios. Disney passed at the time, and they ended up getting additional funds from Paramount.

It was very informative. It's good to have clarity now between Coverage and Evaluation. And your example, Tom, is really nice. From my point of view, it is encouraging to read that one of the most successful films of all time "only" managed to receive a "good" in all categories.
Exactly Thomas! To me, the only difference between a good (consider) and excellent (recommend) is how well the reader personally liked the story. I’ve had a professional reader (a former studio executive) tell me a script was ready for production and then proceed to give it a good rating.
