From the first interview to the monthly report: what happens and when.
How a month runs
1
Interview
One hour by video call or at your place. We bring the questions; you bring the stories only you know.
2
Draft
The pillar draft reaches you within five working days, written from the recording in your words.
3
Mark up
We highlight the passages worth repeating and tag each with its channel and length. You can add or strike any.
4
Cut and schedule
Each marked passage becomes its own piece, rewritten for its channel and booked into the month.
5
Report
A one-page report on what was read, opened and shared, and the topic for next month’s interview.
Interviews are recorded and transcribed; the recording stays yours.
