Bardzo ciekawe narzędzie, które polecił mi znajomy z branży. Przekazuje dogłębnie przemyślane uwagi z wygodnym podziałem na rozdziały i obszary pracy. Polecam je autorom, z którymi współpracuję, jako pierwszego beta readera, oraz redaktorom jako narzędzie wspomagające i dostarczające pomysłów.
Your detective knows too much. Your reader too little.
When you write crime fiction, every clue, every alibi, and everything your detective knows must hold up across the entire manuscript. Vellam checks whether you planted clues before the solution, whether alibis are consistent across chapters, and whether your detective knows things they couldn't possibly know yet.

Reads like someone
who genuinely cares
Clue audit across the entire manuscript
A clue appears in chapter 18 and the detective uses it in chapter 22. Vellam checks every clue and every deduction: was the evidence available to the reader before the detective used it, and did the clues you planted get resolved?
Alibi consistency and detective knowledge across the whole text
A suspect was in Krakow in chapter 4. In chapter 11 they commit a scene in Warsaw at the same time. The detective reasons from a lab report in chapter 9, but only receives it in chapter 14. Vellam catches both types of error before they reach your beta readers.
From the first clue to the final chapter.
Vellam tracks every step.
Evidence chain
Vellam maps every clue from the moment it appears in the text to the moment the detective uses it. You see which clues are unresolved, which appear too late, and which are never summarized.
Dead ends
Every false lead you introduce must be explained before the crime novel ends. A reader who followed a suspicion about Agnieszka for eight chapters deserves to know why they were wrong. Vellam checks that every dead end has a resolution.
Character knowledge over time
Who knew what, and when. Vellam tracks every character's knowledge state chapter by chapter and flags moments when someone acts on information they couldn't yet have. The most common reader complaint in crime fiction: "how did they know that?"
Who is a suspect, where they were,
what they knew
Vellam builds a profile for every character and key event based on what you wrote. No setup required. You see motive, alibi, relationships, and each character's knowledge state in every chapter.
- ✓ Automatic detection of characters and suspects
- ✓ Alibi and location in every chapter
- ✓ Detective's knowledge state step by step
- ✓ Consistency flags: when investigation logic breaks down
Vellam grows
with your investigation.
We are building the features crime writers need most.
Fair play audit
Did your reader have a fair chance to solve the mystery alongside the detective? Vellam maps every deduction to a specific earlier clue and evaluates whether your crime novel plays fair.
Dead-end tracker
Every false lead you plant must be explained. Vellam tracks all red herrings through the manuscript and shows which ones disappear without resolution.
Character knowledge map
A per-chapter map of what every character knows at any given moment. No more detectives stepping on evidence they couldn't possibly know about yet.
Motive verification
The killer's motive must be in the text before it is revealed. Vellam checks that every suspect has an established motive earlier than their exposure, not just in the epilogue.
Crime timeline
Auto-generated reconstruction of key events from your manuscript. Immediately see if anything is logistically impossible: distances, times, alibis.
Procedural analysis
Crime readers know procedure. Vellam compares police, prosecutor, and forensic actions in your text against actual legal standards and flags where procedure breaks down.
