Stop writing scripts nobody wants
Get clarity on your idea before you invest months writing it

Optioned

A producer-informed early-stage evaluation that helps writers understand whether their concept is clear, viable and worth developing

  • CLARITY: Understand the core engine of your story

  • VIABILITY: Learn where your concept lands (budget, risk, execution)

  • CONFIDENCE: Move forward knowing the idea actually works


What Optioned Is/Isn't

What Optioned Is:1. A clarity-first evaluation of early-stage ideas
2. A way to avoid writing scripts that will stall
3. A framework based on producer-informed thinking
4. A tool to help shape ideas into something makeable
5. A development filter (not a marketplace)

What Optioned Is Not:1. Not a script buying service
2. Not a pitch marketplace
3. Not coverage
4. Not a contest
5. Not a "ranking" or "scoring" platform
6. Not a place that predicts sales or access


How It Works

Step 1 - Submit your idea
A form that asks for logline, premise, protagonist, midpoint, etc.
Step 2 - We evaluate clarity
We use a producer-informed framework to assess:
A. Story engine
B. Character drive
C. Structure
D. Visual clarity
E. Viability & risk
Step 3 - get your signal
You receive one of three signals in 48–72 hours:
Greenlight — Ready to write
Yellowlight — Promising but needs clarity
Redlight — Not ready yet, and why
Step 4 - Move forward confidently
Writers can revise and resubmit, or start writing with focus.
