Beluga's pyramid is a metric to judge how good a story is written.
It's purpose is to use a very simple criteria to show the essential components of storytelling, thus narrowing down exactly which criticisms are valid. The Pyramid is not intended to judge the finer works of storytelling such as pacing etc. The pyramid was developed by leading AoT scholar and media critic: Beluga the Yeagerist who is known for his work defending the once controversial ending of Attack on Titan.
He has also defended the writing of one of the main characters: Mikasa Ackerman which according to him is what inspired the pyramid.
According to the pyramid there are certain elements of characters writing and plot elements that are contingent ie. character development is not always a good or bad thing its contingent on other things. So the pyramid aims to show the steadfast and independent factors and elements of storytelling. The pyramid posits that any valid criticism arises from a inappropriate relationship between story elements. The pyramid shows the correct relationship: The character are in service to the plot and themes then the plot is in service of the themes, the themes are at the top because the themes (message) should be applicable. Beluga has also said all this is on the ground of applicability everything must be applicable to real life or else it wont work.
Beluga claims this pyramid is the only way you can tell whether a plot or characters are good. If a story place an element in an inappropriate position ie. creating a plot point to add depth to a character that deviates from the current plot and/or is not thematically relevant
