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”.

These data support the conclusion that The Story Template is an accurate tool to predict classic and non-classic stories.
 
The Story Template algorithm was able to correctly detect both classic and non-classic stories as determined by objective/historical criteria. In this small sample of ten movies, The Story Template was able to correctly categorize nine stories, giving a final accuracy score of 90%.
 
The Story Template is an algorithm that was developed to assist a writer in creating a complete, compelling story. In this series of experiments, 16 separate components of The Story Template were identified. Interestingly, 15 of these 16 components was always present in both classic and non-classic stories. The presence or absence of only one component determined the template’s classification of a classic or non-classic story.
