What a tool costs
Coach tools are priced by length, not by scope, so a short chapter costs the same as a passage of the same length.
A worked example
A 90,000-word novel is roughly 25 chapters of about 3,600 words. One coach tool on every chapter is 25 × 5, so 125 credits. A Writer month has 400.
Chapter size is an illustration, not a measurement.
