- 4 guided part pages — Ki, Shō, Ten and Ketsu, 16 questions, every one with its own answer box
- A part calculator that places each movement at a chapter number, for novels of 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40 chapters
- Story Foundation: logline, premise, theme, and the contrast at the heart of the story — the idea the whole structure stands on
- Character profiles: protagonist at the start and at the end, the opposing force, a key relationship, and supporting cast
- Worldbuilding: the settled world of Ki and Shō, and what the Ten turn adds or recontextualizes
- Progress ring, questions-answered counter, and a quick-note pad
