"The main conflict of your story is..."
"A basic summary of your story is..."
"At its core, your story is really about..."
"The major characters of your story are..."
If at any point your trusted {critiquer} cannot finish those sentences, or has trouble finishing them, or gets them wrong, or gets confused, you know where the problem areas in your story are. ...
"The questions I had at the beginning of the story are..."
"The questions that were still unanswered at the end of the story are..."
...Ask your {critiquer} to tell you about X character-- who he is, and what role he plays in your story.
