Support across the full research journey
Pick the stage you're at — idea, proposal, ethics, fieldwork, analysis, or manuscript.
Open the stage that matches where you are
Each support area is scoped before work begins, and pricing is confirmed in writing.
Prices are indicative starting points. Final pricing is confirmed in writing after reviewing the document, deadline, complexity, number of review rounds, and requested outputs.
Three levels run across every stage
Whatever stage you're in, the support level decides the depth, deliverables, and quote.
Diagnostic
For users who need to know what is weak, missing, or risky before deeper work.
Typical output: Short memo and priority revision list.
Readiness Review
For users with a draft that needs structured review before submission.
Typical output: Annotated draft, review memo, checklist, and revision plan.
Sprint or Custom Support
For deadlines, teams, fieldwork, data systems, or multi-document submissions.
Typical output: Scoped deliverables, timeline, review points, and written quote.
We do not guarantee funding, REC/IRB approval, publication, or supervisor approval. We provide structured review, strengthening, and submission-readiness support. The researcher or organisation remains responsible for the final submission.
