Every document has a risk profile. Most teams have never measured it.
Reviewers spend hours on documents that still come back wrong. Clients ask the same questions on every submission. Approvals crawl. Most companies respond by blaming the writers. Our patented, proprietary PROS Readability Risk Assessment® finds out what's actually broken before anyone touches a pen.
The Premise
An x-ray, not a guess.
Sending writers to a generic course assumes the problem is skill. It rarely is, on its own: the review process, the tools, and unclear expectations are usually part of it. An x-ray shows which, so the fix you pay for is the right one, whether that’s a workshop built on your own documents, a standard, or a new review workflow.
Four Risk Patterns
What we find in nearly every organization we diagnose.
No standard to write to
Writers invent their own standard because none exists, then get scored against a standard nobody wrote down.
No agreement on review
Reviewers don't share a standard for what "good" looks like, so every pass adds a new, sometimes contradictory, layer of edits.
Guidance that doesn't guide
Templates and style guides exist somewhere, but nobody uses them, because nobody was told they were the standard.
No tools defining the process
Nothing defines when a document is due, who reviews it, or how many passes it should take to call it done.
Left undiagnosed, these patterns don't show up as a training problem. They show up as lost money, lost time, and lost resources, on every review cycle, on every document.
The Process
Four stages, start to finish. You keep the findings no matter what you do next.
We dig for the real issue
We trace symptoms like slow reviews or repeat client questions back to their root cause in your process, your tools, or your team.
We evaluate your documents and tools
Not just the policy on paper. The real documents, style guides, templates, and workflows your team actually uses.
We build your PROS Roadmap™
Findings and prioritized recommendations, matched to the root cause we found, not a generic checklist.
We walk through it together
We review the findings with your stakeholders directly, so nothing lands as a surprise after the fact.
What You Walk Away With
A diagnosis you can act on, with anyone.
- Findings. The real causes, not just the symptoms.
- Recommendations. Specific fixes matched to the root cause.
- Actionable steps. A sequence your team can start this week.
- A path forward. A realistic plan for the whole organization.
The report is yours. Permanently.
See It In Action
Three real assessments, blinded
Every one of these teams assumed their documentation was fine. Here's what our patented, proprietary PROS Readability Risk Assessment® found instead.
The writing problem that was hiding a production failure
An F1000 eyecare company recovered $145,598 a year and 45% of its lost output in one department.
Read the Case Study → Energy & UtilitiesWhen following the procedure starts the fire
An F1000 utilities company defused a $718,692-a-year SOP problem and got field confidence to 90%.
Read the Case Study → ManufacturingThe reviews weren't slow. They were expensive.
An F1000 manufacturer cut writing and reviewing costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Find out what's actually broken before you spend another dollar guessing. The assessment pays for itself in the time and rework it saves on the very next review cycle.
