The first draft is nearly complete. A fresh, independent read can get it across the finishing line – marking up any inconsistencies before publication.

You’ve Read It, But Has Anyone Checked It?

By the time a draft is 80% complete, every section has been read multiple times, which makes it difficult to notice issues. A late edit in one section that was never carried through elsewhere blends into the background. A conclusion that no longer matches with an earlier revision looks fine because both versions have merged in your memory. A tone shift between two sections written by different contributors stops standing out.

At this point, what the draft needs is a fresh perspective from someone who hasn’t seen it before and with enough time to address the issues they identify.

What This Achieves

A fresh, independent read of a draft that's roughly 80% complete – closing the final gap with targeted writing and editorial improvements. The result:

• Remaining sections are drafted and integrated, with matching voice and structure
• Late edits are carried through to every related page
• Conclusions and summaries match the data they're built on
• Sections written by different contributors read as one consistent voice

How This Works (e.g 6 weeks out)

1. Send the current draft at any stage, in any format
2. Critical read of the full document
3. Drafting of incomplete or underdeveloped sections of the report (up to 20%)
