Toon pilot research

We aim to reduce uncertainty in early-stage webcomics by applying structured reader validation methods in initial chapters. This helps creators identify clarity gaps, pacing issues, and early drop-off risks before publication, increasing the likelihood of strong first impressions and reader retention.

About

My name is Greg, and I am the founder of Toon Pilot Research. We’re an independent reader validation panel that specialises in testing webcomic pilots before official release.Our team is made up of a structured panel of readers who read and review the first 1-3 chapters of a project. They provide both quantitative and qualitative feedback, which we then compile into an insightful report. This report highlights several key factors, including:- First-impression clarity
- Early retention signals
- Emotional engagement
- Pacing and hook strength
- Drop-off risk factors
We aim to reduce creator uncertainty before release, with the goal of maximising webcomic performance on launch.
