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

  • Strongest first route and why
  • Initial eligibility and fit risks
  • What still needs shaping
  • One alternative where useful
  • A clear next action

Scope and responsibility: This is a self-contained written diagnosis. Matt recommends a larger service only where the brief genuinely needs one.

Direction before drafting

A smaller diagnosis is often the right first purchase when the real problem is the route or project shape, not the prose.

How this service is designed

Inspect the writing before you enquire

Read genuine redacted extracts before choosing human support. Identifying information is replaced with [redacted], while the underlying wording is retained.

  • Project description: Shows how project purpose, activity and public benefit can be made specific.
  • Need and funder fit: Connects organisational context, funder priorities and the practical case for support.
  • Access and inclusion: Shows partners, audience, access and delivery detail in a longer extract.
  • Multiple writing extracts: A fuller set of redacted examples for inspecting tone, structure and specificity.
