A policy research organisation produces dozens of briefs each year. Topics range from climate finance to international relations, each written by different specialists. The challenge: maintaining a consistent editorial standard across wildly different subject matter.
Their communications director needed papers that were technically precise but readable by general audiences. Dense enough for policymakers, clear enough for journalists. The same Oxford comma rules, the same approach to non-English terms, the same handling of citations—applied identically whether the paper addressed fiscal policy or artificial intelligence.
We became their editorial layer. Each paper receives the same treatment: grammar standardised, jargon flagged, readability tested. The specialists write; we ensure the writing meets the house standard. A year in, their output reads like it comes from one organisation rather than a dozen separate researchers.
