The report discusses:
  • Age-appropriateness.
  • The novelty and appeal of the idea.
  • Language.
  • Marketability.
  • Success of character.
  • Probability of empathy with audience.

Your understanding of the psychological developmental stage of the child might also be relevant, and the assessment will discuss how these ideas can inspire and refine your stories.
