Tell us what you need. We draft the document.
You describe what the document is for and which rules it answers to. We quote a fixed price, draft against those rules, have the draft reviewed by our legal team, and revise once with you.
How a document is drafted
Five steps. The quote is fixed before we start. The first draft takes 5 to 20 working days, and our legal team reviews it before it reaches you. One revision round is included. The document arrives in Word (.docx) and PDF, and after delivery it is kept current for $29 to $99 a month.

The intake asks what the document is for, who will read it, which rules it answers to and what you already use. You can send files once we reply.

2Leave
2.1Each type of leave in this handbook has a rule, a request route and a record. The rule says who may take it and for how long; the request route says who approves it; the record says where it is written down.
2.2A request is made in writing to the person named in appendix A, before the leave begins, and is recorded on the day it is approved.
What happens after delivery
Optional, $29 to $99 a month.
Under the maintenance plan we keep tracking the rules the document was drafted against. When one changes, you receive a revised document with the changes marked and a new revision code.
Without the plan, the document is still yours to use; it simply stops being tracked.
