02 — What We Do
A margin, not a rewrite
Our work sits beside your own, not over it. We annotate rather than rewrite, distinguishing evidence from structure and structure from taste, so the choices stay yours. The aim is a sharper, more defensible piece of work — not a house style imposed from outside.
- Notes placed against the exact passage they concern
- Plain assessments, no scores or grading systems
- Guidance grounded in Kenyan press practice
- Small teams treated as small teams, not scaled-down newsrooms

05 — How We Work
Notes over verdicts
- We explain reasoning, not just conclusions
- Matters of taste are marked as such and left to you
- Every engagement ends with something written you can keep
Bring us a piece before it goes to print, or a question before it becomes a dispute.

Some notes from past clients
"The notes on my last feature were the first I'd had that separated a factual gap from a stylistic disagreement. I could act on one and set the other aside."
Amondi Wafula
Freelance Reporter
"The workshop gave our juniors a way to phrase attribution that didn't overstate what our sources actually told us."
Njeri Kimutai
Desk Editor
"We'd been putting off a standards conversation for a year. Having it structured, with a written agreement at the end, made it far less awkward than we feared."
