Why Clients Work With Us
People work with us because we have written SOPs from the ground up for new factory start-ups. We have developed hundreds of production SOPs linked to compliance systems that verify and document actual production performance and yield.
We have written corporate communications, scientific reports, and training manuals for employees worldwide. In addition, we have carried out numerous product evaluations as well as assessments of functional ingredients and processing equipment.
Modern production evolved where we work with fixed components to yield variable outcomes. The same basic components, for example produces different smartphones or equipment. Meat processing is not like this. The raw material by its very nature is variable. We work on variable input to produce fixed outcome. We write production and QC SOP’s which achieves this!

Responsible Use of AI
AI is a powerful tool, but it is unable to deliver the coherent and structured work delivered by this team.
We use AI as a controlled tool for research and drafting; however, the team develops, formulates, and edits all content independently. All final content is therefore created, reviewed, and approved by professional specialists. AI functions as a tool of the studio, not as an editor or co-author.
We are able to take existing material from clients, whether generated by AI or written by the clients themselves, and develop it into coherent, fully elaborated final products.
“We are the human-in the look that turns AI work into usable content!”

Factors Influencing the Pricing of Our Work
Type of Project Machine operating manuals and production SOPs in meat processing represent fundamentally different types of assignments. There is no single calculation model that applies to all scenarios.
Starting Point of the Documentation Do structures and content need to be developed entirely from scratch, or does the project involve revising and adapting existing materials?
External Requirements and Regulatory Frameworks External factors often increase the time and workload required from the team. For example, production SOPs must comply with formal food safety systems, yield and input controls, and processing standards. It must also be determined whether only existing client protocols are to be applied or whether internationally recognised best practices should be integrated at defined points.
Project Duration and Deadlines Scope, timeframe, and client specifications directly influence resource planning and pricing structure.
Translation Requirements Any required specialist translations between German and English are considered separately.
This is only an illustrative list of factors taken into account when defining the scope of work. All of these factors influence pricing. Other important aspects include the available capacity of Eben and Christa from project assignment to delivery. Short deadlines generally result in significantly higher hourly rates, while longer timeframes represent the most economical option.
The client’s budget is equally important. In our view, financial limitations must not compromise quality or methodological rigour. Instead, we often propose structuring the work over several months in line with the available monthly budget. This approach enables continuous feedback, steady progress, and, in our experience, leads to better overall results. We prioritise long-term partnerships over isolated, one-off project assignments.
All relevant factors are considered, and on this basis a final price and binding deadlines are established. Pricing is the first outcome of a detailed briefing and scoping process. This process begins when the prospective client submits a written description of the planned work, followed by an online meeting. During this meeting, the scoping process and full briefing are initiated. Once this process is completed, including full formalisation of the brief, the actual work begins.
In this context, we welcome direct contact from you to discuss your specific requirements with our team.
