I agree with the rest. Evaluating your story before writing it is like rating a love affair before having it (OK, I know. Awful metaphor). The thing is, you must receive feedback from other people. That's the only way to know whether your plot, pace, characters are delivering satisfactorily.

From what I've seen of online writing communities, criticism always
seems to be about writing style rather than content.

I'm not sure if you have tried Scribophile. They not only have an inline editing form but also have a template form which is divided into plot, pacing, description, characters, etc.

I'm an active member in that community and use that form most of the time. It forces me to organize my critiques and be more specific.
