CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Different work calls for a different tool.
| Criterion | Vellam | Human editor | General chatbot |

| Shape of the feedback | Organises findings around plot, characters, pacing, and style. | Develops a nuanced editorial view and discusses possible directions. | Produces an answer to an individual prompt. |
| Best fit | A first whole-book pass and a decision list for revision. | Human interpretation, priorities, and work on the final shape of the book. | Occasional questions about a short passage or idea. |
