Precision, Compliance, and Efficiency in Clinical Data

The amount of time to complete a writing project varies significantly between projects. The complexity of the studies and the development program are the primary factors in determining the time to completion of a writing project. A few additional factors are the amount of literature searching that is required (i.e., if the Sponsor can provide a literature collection, this would be a good way to accelerate the writing process), the clarity of messaging (i.e., the clearer we are on expectations at the outset, the faster we can write) and availability of reviewers to provide input on the delivered drafts. We discuss the timeline in the kickoff meeting and assign two writers per project, to increase writer availability and allow for concurrent work, where applicable.

We prepare a unique proposal for each project. Our unit of pricing is hour of work and our basic process comprises a shell document, three full drafts, quality checking and publishing. The effort estimation includes internal review and oversight by a team leader. We also offer a timed contract model, in which a writer is fully dedicated to a client and can work on multiple projects. This model is offered on a full- or half-time employee (FTE) basis, for 3-, 6- or 12-month contracts. This model also includes support from MW team leaders.
