Core services
Choose your pathway to success.
Five entry points, one standard of evidence: fixed-scope Sprints for a deadline already on the calendar, the Innovation Hub for course design and gamification, multi-month Marathons for a stalled dissertation or a tenure clock, the Manuscript MRI for a paper before it goes out, and the Course Engagement Audit for a course that’s losing students somewhere you can’t see yet.
How the five fit together
Different routes. One standard of evidence.
A sprint, a marathon and a diagnostic are not five products loosely related by a logo. Each one starts where a different deadline starts, and each one ends with the same thing: a specialist with a doctorate putting their name to what they found, and a report you could hand to a supervisor.
Which route you take depends on what is already on your calendar. What you get at the end of it does not.
Urgent, fixed-scope
The Sprints
If we can't make your deadline, we say so before you're charged. If we take it, we hit it.
| Sprint | Tier | Turnaround | Investment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejection ReversalFor the manuscript that just came back with a verdict | Standard | 5 business days | €549 |
| Rush | 24 hours | €849 | |
| Grant SurgeFor the proposal whose deadline is not moving | Seed | 5 business days | €649 |
| Major | 7 business days | €999 | |
| Defense ReadinessFor the date already circled on your calendar | Standard | feedback within 48h of your mock | €599 |
| Intensive | two rounds; feedback within 48h of each | €799 |
For educators & teaching centres
The Innovation Hub
Gamification and course design, built on the same Design-Risk Map diagnostic as the Course Engagement Audit below — tuned for departments and teaching centres redesigning at cohort scale rather than one course at a time.
Flagship diagnostic
The Manuscript MRI
The Manuscript MRI
A 23-point structural and logic diagnostic, delivered before you submit. Colour-coded report, 15-minute video walk-through, Reviewer #2 simulation and journal-fit analysis.
5–7 day turnaround, up to 10,000 words.
€459
€299 · The Language Pass · one pass · up to 10,000 words · add-on to the Manuscript MRI, Rejection Reversal or Grant Surge
Language editing
Editing, by somebody who read the paper
Most scholars writing in English as a second language want two things, and the order matters. They want to know whether the argument holds. Then they want the English to stop getting in the way of it.
The diagnostic answers the first. The Language Pass answers the second, and the same named specialist does both.
That continuity is the whole of the difference, and you can check it without taking our word for anything. One name on the diagnostic. The same name on the change log.
What we edit: your sentences, your paragraphs, your terminology, your register. What we never edit: your argument. The diagnostic tells you to move section 3 and says why. It does not move it for you.
Every changed sentence is recorded. The report carries the acknowledgements wording filled in, so your declaration is written before anybody asks you for one.
The Language Pass is an add-on to a diagnostic and is not sold on its own. An editing-only enquiry gets a written answer within one working day, pointing you to services that do sell it.
For the "messy middle" of a course
The Course Engagement Audit
Course Engagement Audit
A week-by-week Design-Risk Map of your course, five plug-and-play game mechanics and LMS-specific implementation notes — delivered by a PhD educator, not a template.
from €299
Multi-month
The Marathons
For work that doesn't fit in a sprint: a full dissertation to defence, or a tenure clock running against a publication pipeline.
Dissertation Finisher
A multi-month pipeline that turns a stalled dissertation into a defended one, with a Fit Guarantee and a marathon-pause option if life happens mid-way.
from €499
Tenure-Track Accelerator
A managed publication and grant pipeline for faculty on the clock, tracked on the same Pipeline Board that powers Momentum.
from €1,149
Methodology
The “Human-Core” Framework™
Machines find the friction. A specialist decides what to do about it. You keep the voice, the ideas and the authorship.
AI-powered diagnostic scan
Tools surface the friction points before you submit or teach. Data rather than gut feeling — and every tool we used is named in your report.
Specialist-led strategy session
One to one, we interpret the scan, sharpen the argument and protect your voice. You leave with a ranked action list, not a wall of comments.
Implementation and defence prep
The “Reviewer #2” simulation and stress-test lab, so you can defend the work to an editor, a panel or a committee — before they test it for you.
Applied to every service on this page — the diagnostic, the specialist read, and the rehearsal or revision pass differ by service, the framework doesn't.
For scholars writing in a second language
Specialised support for international scholars
We provide cultural translation that preserves your authentic voice while navigating the norms of English-dominant academia. That means proactively mitigating bias in framing, surfacing the unspoken rhetorical patterns Western examiners and journals reward, and making sure your scholarship is judged on its merit — not filtered through a linguistic disadvantage.
Non-negotiables
Four commitments we publish, so you can hold us to them
Human-Led Certification
Every strategic decision is reviewed and signed by a PhD expert — never solely by an automated system.
Ethical AI Disclosure
We disclose every tool used in your diagnostic. No hidden automation.
Data Sovereignty
Your intellectual property remains yours. We never use your work to train a model.
No Ghostwriting, Ever
We nurture your voice. We never substitute your ideas with ours — and we will decline work that requests us to.
