A shared starting point
Identify the audience or project purpose, one working source version and the output you need. Reference material, approved wording and known deadlines help define the brief.
Working with MML
A clear brief. A considered handover.
Good cooperation makes the purpose, working materials and responsibilities visible. Here is what to discuss before your project begins.
Discuss your projectA considered choice of tools
Discuss the content and your requirements before selecting the working approach. Tool use, review responsibilities and any restrictions should be addressed in the project scope.
Visible decisions and changes
Keep questions, accepted terminology and source updates connected to the relevant files. A new revision should identify what it replaces and which outputs are affected.
A useful handover
Confirm file formats, language or project references and the records included in delivery. Identify open items and the contact responsible for the next decision.
What shapes a proposal?
The document set, languages and regions, intended use, review needs, output format and timing all help define the work. Fee coordination also requires the fee purpose, destination and supporting records. Scope and fees are confirmed for the individual project.

Common questions
Can I enquire before the files are complete?
Yes. Describe the service, intended use and materials you expect to have. A representative outline is enough for a first conversation; the final scope depends on reviewing the working materials.
How should I share confidential or payment-related material?
Use the first enquiry to describe your need without attaching confidential documents, bank details or payment instructions. Discuss the requirements and confirm the appropriate channel before exchanging working records.
Does the website send my enquiry automatically?
No. You can review, download or copy a draft. The email option opens a prepared message in your email app, addressed to the relevant business contact. You still need to send that message yourself.
