WHAT VELLAM CHECKS
Analysis that leads back to the manuscript.
-
Context from a specific novel
Characters, places, plot threads, and craft findings stay connected to the chapters they come from.
-
Writing beside analysis
Return to a chapter, review the findings, and decide for yourself how the manuscript should change.
-
Order through revision
Collected results help separate urgent issues from questions that need more thought.
Vittore Carpaccio, The Vision of Saint Augustine, 1502 Vel really just wanted to leave already.
The door was closed by someone unseen, whom no one had heard or noticed.
He muttered quietly under his breath.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Different work calls for a different tool.
| Criterion | Vellam | Human editor | General chatbot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Works around a specific manuscript and its chapters. | Reads the work in light of its brief, genre, and intended effect. | Starts with a question and the material added to the conversation. |
| Support for the writer | Surfaces patterns, possible issues, and connected places in the text. | Clarifies priorities and guides the book through a deeper editorial process. | Helps think through one problem or possible response at a time. |
| Who writes the text | The author changes the manuscript; Vellam supplies analysis. | The author keeps the voice while drawing on human judgement and dialogue. | Can suggest wording when asked, but does not hold the complete intention of the book. |

What credits pay for
One credit balance works across almost the whole app. You never buy analysis and chat separately: every feature takes what it uses from the same balance.
- Chapter and full-book analysis
- Consistency analysis
- Craft analysis
- Reader reaction
- Chat with a character
- Chat with the assistant
- Fact check
- Translations
A full analysis uses the most, about 2.5 credits per word. A chat with the assistant or a fact check usually costs a few hundred credits. Writing, the Story Bible and export are always free.
