ScoreIt!™’s big data analytics at work

Inkubate’s powerful analytics platform “fingerprints” a manuscript by mapping the smallest parts of language that can only be measured using sophisticated, high-powered computer technology. The statistically relevant and highly personalized uses of language are then amalgamated to create a unique writing style “profile” for each author’s work. This is then compared against the writing style profiles in our corpus of a wide variety of author works. Our technology returns the top three closest writing style matches and presents the results as a comparative ranking. Specifically, each manuscript run through our system is evaluated and weighted for its 1) vocabulary; 2) expressive complexity 3) grammatical construction and 4) tone.

Whether you believe your work to be experimental fiction, a sensory-rich romantic escape, a wild sci-fi adventure or a paranormal thriller, a ScoreIt!™ manuscript analysis will help you deploy your story to the widest possible audience.
