Disclosed herein are example embodiments of an improved narrative generation system where an analysis service that executes data analysis logic that supports story generation can include configuration-driven analytics, such as at least one of a configuration-driven peaks analytic, a configuration-driven jumps analytic, a configuration-driven runs analytic, and/or a configuration-driven streaks analytic. In an example embodiment, the analysis service can be segregated from an authoring service that executes authoring logic for story generation through an interface. Accordingly, when the authoring service needs analysis from the analysis service, it can invoke the analysis service through the interface. By exposing the analysis service to the authoring service through the shared interface, the details of the logic underlying the analysis service are shielded from the authoring service (and vice versa where the details of the authoring service are shielded from the analysis service). Through parameterization of operating variables, the analysis service can thus be designed as a generalized data analysis service that can operate in a number of different content verticals with respect to a variety of different story types.
