Submit your full script and receive written notes (no synopsis) on how to elevate your material to get it market-ready. The exec will give you specific suggestions on how to elevate your script's dialogue, structure, pacing, characterization, and tone. After you've had a chance to digest the written Coverage, you will then have a one-hour call with the exec to further discuss their feedback.

I believe that the first audience member you write for is yourself. If you don't like it, why should anyone else? Essentially, this helps me find what I love about a project so that way, when pitching a project to boss, a friend, an exec, etc, I'm crystal clear about what the core of the project is. People recognize authenticity and they can tell when you've modified a pitch to simply reflect the zeitgeist. That's not to say that you shouldn't make a pitch reflective of the real world (i.e. market changes and trends), but finding what you love in a project represents an inner truth, ergo authenticity.
Secondly, it's a cliche, but character is king. We've agreed that there are seven basic plots but there are an infinite number characters. Once you know your characters, your plot becomes easier to construct and more unique in the process.
