The process
Seven steps, and you are needed for three of them.
You bring the expertise and the approvals. We bring the interview, the research, the argument and the redline.
Brief
We learn the business, the audience, the subject and the objective. You tell us what the piece has to achieve before we discuss what it should say.
Interview
When the expertise lives inside the company, we extract it through conversation. The recording and the transcript stay with the engagement.
Research
We verify claims, research sources and build the argument. Anything that cannot be sourced gets flagged, and then either sourced or cut.
Draft
We write the article, the copy or the ghostwritten piece, against the structure you approved rather than against a blank page.
Editorial pass
We tighten structure, language, evidence and voice. Every substantive cut is explained, so you can disagree with the reasoning.
Approval
The client reviews the final piece. Nothing is published anywhere under your name without your written approval.
Publish
The finished work goes to your website, publication, newsletter or byline, ready to use as delivered.
Voice and expertise
How we write in your voice — without scoring it.
The previous version of this website showed two invented measurements here: a “voice match” percentage and a “claim density” figure, presented as live telemetry. Neither was measured. They have been removed rather than relabelled, because calling an invented number internal does not make it true. Here is what actually happens instead.
We keep the recording
Every engagement opens with a recorded brief and interview. We log the phrases the speaker actually uses — the ones that recur when they are explaining something for the tenth time, because that is usually where the real argument lives.
We write against the transcript
The draft is written to that reference rather than to a house style. Where a sentence could have been written by anyone in the industry, it is rewritten or removed.
We show the cuts
The editorial pass shortens and sharpens. Each substantive cut carries a reason in the margin, so voice-matching stays a conversation about your own sentences instead of a claim about a score.
We do not grade it
The previous version of this site displayed figures for “voice match” and “claim density”. They have been removed rather than relabelled, because a number that implies a measurement nobody performed is not made honest by calling it internal. Voice is an editorial judgement and we describe it as one.
FAQ
Process questions
How involved do I have to be?
One recorded brief, an interview per piece where the expertise is yours, and an approval at the structure stage and at the final draft. Everything else is ours.
What if a draft misses the mark?
Tell us where, in one sentence, and we will restructure it. The revision round is part of the engagement, not a favour. What we will not do is silently rewrite it and hope.
Do I see the sources?
Yes. Sources are attached per claim, and anything we cannot source is flagged rather than smoothed over.
Do you use AI?
Some AI-assisted tools may be part of our workflow, and we will not claim otherwise. What stays with SENATORE is research, source verification, structural judgement, the editorial pass and responsibility for the published piece. A human editor signs off everything that carries a client's name. We do not publish unreviewed machine output, and we do not describe the studio as AI-free.
