Step Outline
Upload the screenplay and get back the structural x-ray: one step for every slugline, the acts and sequences marked, and the page each beat falls on. It is the document Karel builds first on every script he reads, because where the sequence breaks fall is what tells you the shape of the thing. This tool is separate from Karel's notes, which he always writes himself.
