To qualify as a classic by the Story Template Algorithm’s definition, the subject must meet a set requirement for inclusion, duration, and position of 26 story components.  These components include elements of plot, character roles, themes, chords, character strands, and other elements.  Eventually these scores for all variables will be compiled into one assessment: whether the Story Template Algorithm identifies the subject categorically as a “classic” or “non-classic”.

The test group was compared to a control group.  The chosen control group is also referred to as the gold standard.  It is what I have chosen as the testable criteria of a classic versus non-classic.  Some of the criteria include the following of the subjects.
1.Original form released before 1980 - the duration of one literary generation; also the point of initiation for the post-post modernist literary era
2.Reproduced in some way, one of which must have been a movie
3.The work must be readily available in book stores.
4.The work must be appropriate for young adult audiences.
