The done-for-you standard

Say it.
Consider it handled.

Describe the work the way you would describe it to a colleague. What comes back is finished — reviewed, formatted, and ready to use. No catalogue. No scoping call. No project to manage.

Plain language is enough. No brief required.

What the work is worth
The premise

The brief was always the
expensive part.

Every hour spent explaining work is an hour the work is not getting done. We removed that hour. You describe the outcome once, in your own words, and the next thing you see is the outcome itself.

There is nothing to configure, no service to choose from a menu, and no minimum size that makes a request worth submitting. A three-line question and a quarter-defining analysis enter through exactly the same door.

Breadth

If you would hand it to a capable colleague, hand it to us.

We do not publish a catalogue, because a catalogue is a list of the things a firm has decided not to do. The honest description of our scope is the one below.

01

Find out

The question you keep meaning to answer properly — about a market, a competitor, a number that never quite reconciles.

02

Write it

The document, the memo, the sequence, the page. Written to be read by the specific person who has to read it.

03

Make sense of it

The spreadsheet nobody owns, the export nobody trusts, the pile of notes that has never been turned into a decision.

04

Set it up

The process, the template, the checklist, the standard — written down once so it stops living in one person's head.

05

Sharpen it

The positioning, the pricing, the pitch. What you already have, made materially better by an outside pair of eyes.

06

Whatever is next

The request that fits none of the above. It is still a request. Send it in the same sentence you would use out loud.

The standard

One bar. Applied to a
paragraph and to a portfolio.

A small request is not a small responsibility. Everything that leaves here clears the same four tests, regardless of what it cost.

I

Finished, not started

You receive work you can use, not a draft you have to rescue. Anything short of that has not been delivered.

II

Reviewed before release

Nothing reaches you unchecked. Every claim, figure and recommendation is examined before you see it.

III

Written for a reader

Clear enough to forward without a covering note. If it needs explaining, it is not done.

IV

Yours completely

Full ownership of everything delivered. No attribution, no licence terms, no strings attached to the output.

The arc

Four moments. Only one of them is yours.

This is the whole of your involvement, start to finish.

  1. Yours

    Say what you need

    A sentence. A paragraph if the detail matters. There is no correct format, no required fields, and no wrong way to ask.

  2. Ours

    We take it from there

    The request is read, framed, and turned into an engagement with a defined outcome. If something genuinely needs your input, we ask once.

  3. Ours

    The work gets done

    Progress is visible in your workspace the entire time, so you always know where the engagement stands without asking anyone.

  4. Yours again

    It arrives finished

    The completed work lands in your workspace, ready to use. Want it different? Say so in the thread — revisions are part of it.

“I sent one line at 9am about a competitor that had started beating us. What came back was the sharpest read on our own market anyone had written in two years — including us.”

Pricing

You set the price.
We set the standard.

There is no rate card here, and no tier that quietly buys you a better version of the same work. You see the engagement, you decide what it is worth, and you pay that.

It is an unusual arrangement and a deliberate one. A firm confident in its output does not need a pricing page to defend it. The quality of what arrives is the only argument we intend to make.

You enter the amount at checkout.

We suggest a figure when we frame the engagement.
You are free to ignore it.
Before you ask

The questions everyone has.

Straight answers, in the order people tend to ask them.

How specific does my request have to be?

As specific as you would be with a colleague you trust. If something material is genuinely ambiguous, we ask you once rather than guessing — but most requests need nothing beyond the sentence you already have in mind.

What happens if the result is not what I wanted?

You say so in the thread and it gets put right. Revisions are part of the engagement, not an extra. An engagement is finished when you say it is finished.

Is there anything you will not take on?

We decline anything unlawful, anything that requires a licensed professional opinion, and anything we cannot deliver to our standard. In that last case we tell you immediately rather than delivering something weaker.

Who owns what you deliver?

You do, completely and on arrival. No attribution requirement, no licence, no residual claim of any kind on the work.

How do you handle what I send you?

Your material is confidential, held only for as long as your engagement needs it, and never used to serve anyone else. Discretion is a condition of the relationship, not a feature of it.

Is there a minimum, a retainer, or a contract?

No retainer and no contract. Submit one request a year or forty a week. A single engagement starts at forty-nine dollars, and nothing is committed until you decide one is worth paying for.

Begin

There is a request you have been
putting off writing.

Write it in one sentence instead. That is genuinely all this takes.
