Sample close read on a live chapter: "the well scene has no resistance: being seen costs her nothing on the page. she pays at the window where she doesn't knock." The writer reworked the scene so the name cost her something.

The instrument: I look for the sentence where your character pays nothing, the move a reader gets for free, and the exit handed over at the last line. That is usually the one change that makes the chapter cost something to read.
