Three services, one argument

Machines produce the draft. We make someone accountable for the result — and we document it well enough that you can prove it.

The shape of the work has changed

Translation used to be one purchase: a linguist produced a file, someone proofread it, and the proofreading was folded into the price.

That is not how content is produced any more. An engine produces the first draft. Software scores each segment for risk. Only the risky segments reach a person. The human contribution has moved from producing text to judging it — which means the human contribution now has to be specified, priced and evidenced separately, because it is no longer automatic.

Our three services map onto that reality.

What we offer

01
Vanenberg
Light and full post-editing of neural engine output. Priced by revision depth rather than a flat per-word discount, with a quality floor written into the terms.
02
Vanenberg
Review of output from large language models and agentic pipelines. Fluent, confident, and wrong in ways that classic engine output never was. Checked for what those systems actually get wrong.
03
Vanenberg
Independent structured review of finished translation, whoever produced it. Errors categorised and scored against MQM. The deliverable is a report and a score, not a corrected file.

What they have in common

Two stages, two people. Editing and sign-off are separate passes performed by different linguists. Nobody signs off their own work.

Documented reviewers. We keep records of qualifications, subject expertise and time in domain for every linguist. In regulated work you can ask for them, and you should.

Structured scoring. MQM error categories and severity levels, so quality is a number that moves over time rather than an opinion that varies by reviewer.

A version trail. What changed, when, by whom, against which source version.

Independence. We do not sell an engine, so we have nothing to defend when we assess one.

    Not sure which one you need?

    Most conversations start with post-editing and end up somewhere more interesting. Send a file and we will tell you what we would actually recommend, including when the honest answer is that the content does not need us.
