What this page helps you plan
Motive pressure
The need, fear, debt, shame, loyalty, or ambition that makes the crime believable.
Evidence trail
What gets left behind, who sees it, and how each clue changes leverage.
Escalation
How every attempted cover-up creates a bigger problem.
Fast workflow
- Separate the actual crime timeline from the order the reader discovers it.
- Give every major character a pressure point and a reason to hide something.
- Track evidence cards next to the scenes where they appear and get reinterpreted.
- Make the final consequence personal, not only legal.
Useful AI prompts
- What pressure would make this character choose a crime they normally would not commit?
- List the evidence this scene accidentally creates.
- Find the point where the cover-up should become more dangerous than the original crime.
