Send the fund, deadline and rough idea

Matt will assess the brief personally, confirm the cleanest service and send a fixed price before work starts. A chat remains available for complex projects after the initial brief.

What you receive

  • Overall diagnosis
  • Section-by-section notes
  • Priority fix list
  • Missing evidence and project detail
  • Budget and consistency checks
  • Targeted wording where it materially helps

Scope and responsibility: This service provides feedback and targeted wording. It is not a complete rewrite. Choose Review and Strengthening when you want direct editing.

Clear, detailed feedback

Matt provided me with clear, detailed feedback with explanations for each of his proposed changes, so that I understood what I was editing and why.
