a stupid writing question

Can anyone point me to online examples of what a developmental edit (one that deals with the big picture issues of a novel -- as opposed to copy edit) is supposed to look like?

Perhaps some kind author or editor has done something like that as an edifying example?

I don't know if I'm just expecting too much for my money (I've only paid for a sample so far, but it's not what I thought it would be) or if that's just what a developmental edit is. I need something to compare it to before I either a) give this editor more money, or b) go looking for someone else.

Pretty please? With sugar and a cherry?
