Score

Claude reads the full sermon against a locked rubric — ten dimensions, eight signatures — and writes the report in the voice of a thoughtful pastoral coach.

Take to Prep

The Things to Work On at the bottom give you three priorities for next week — each with a specific small practicum to try in your normal study time.

What You Get

The coaching report — four bands, one read.

Every report opens with a pastoral read of the whole, then walks through four sections: where the sermon stood across ten dimensions, what worked, what to work on next, and the eight signature craft moves a preacher can carry into the week.

A Read of the Whole

Synthesis paragraph

Before the numbers — what did the sermon try to do, what did it do well, where did the weight sit. A pastoral 4-6 sentence frame, anchored in the actual sermon.

Dimensions

Ten scores with evidence

Ten dimensions across four tiers — Foundation, Craft, Connection, Style. Each scored 1-5 with confidence, plain commentary, and a direct quote from the transcript.

What's Working

Four to five affirmations

The strongest moves the preacher made in this sermon. Title, observation, quote — anchored in rubric vocabulary so the same labels can show up across weeks.

Things to Work On

Three priorities for next week

The three highest-impact things to work on next. Each card carries Observation, Recommendation, and a Practicum — one specific small thing to try this week in prep.

Signatures

Eight craft moves observed

Christological turn, intertextual anchoring, aphoristic compression, identity framing in the call, and four others — observed and quoted, or noted as absent without penalty.

Speaker & Date

Trackable across sermons

Each report carries the speaker name and sermon date so reports stack week-to-week and growth on a dimension or signature becomes visible across cycles.

Features

Built for the rhythm of weekly preaching.

Designed around the sermon-prep cycle you're already in — small, repeatable, ready by Monday morning.

Who It's For

Built for the long, slow work of getting better.

Whether you preach every week or you're shaping the next generation of preachers, the same rubric meets you where you are.

Pastors — Run a coaching report on your own sermon every week. Watch the same dimension and signature labels track across reports as your craft develops.

Mentors & Preaching Coaches — Read every sermon against the same rubric. Bring evidence quotes and named craft moves into the next conversation.

Teaching Pastors in Training — Honest, specific feedback on ten dimensions and eight signatures, with one specific practicum each week.

Multi-Site Teams — Calibrate preaching across campuses against one shared rubric. The synthesis paragraph reads like a thoughtful teammate.

Seminaries & Programs — Pair the report with mentor priorities. The three Things to Work On at the bottom give every student a specific next-week plan.

Personal Practice — Listen to a sermon you admired. Run it through the rubric. Learn the moves by seeing them named, scored, and quoted.
