1
Brief
You describe the document, its intended use, source and target language, and deadline. I determine which specialist the project requires and confirm availability.
2
Quote
Fixed price and confirmed delivery date in writing within one business day. Work does not begin until you confirm. If additional complexity becomes apparent, I discuss it before proceeding.
3
Assignment
Project assigned by domain expertise first, language pair second. Arts content to translators with arts knowledge. Legal to law-background specialists. The language pair is the filter, not the primary criterion.
4
Translation
Translation proceeds to the confirmed scope. Clarification questions are sent promptly when needed, rather than resolved by assumption. All projects include independent proofreading.
5
Delivery
Delivered digitally in source format. Sworn translation includes the court-sworn declaration. Project archived 12 months. Revision requests within 14 calendar days.
