Who it is for

  • Budget line consistency with the written proposal
  • One revision cycle on marked sections

Outside this engagement

  • Full rewriting or ghostwriting of essays

    Close reading

    Statements, CVs, and budgets are read for clarity, repetition, and unsupported claims.

    Markup return

    You receive margin notes and a one-page summary of high-impact fixes.

  4. 0

    Revision pass
