About Articled and Our No-AI Writing Standard
This is a writing organization built on one rule and one number. No generative AI at any stage of the work, and the writer keeps the whole writing price — our fee is a separate one percent on top.
Why About Articled Starts With a No-AI Promise
Most organizational value statements place the promise last, after values and a founding story. Our promise comes first because it is the only statement customers cannot verify at the point of purchase. You can read a sample. You can count the words. You cannot see whether the first draft was produced by a person or a model.
The promise therefore has to arrive with mechanisms backing it. Writers sign a commitment that covers drafting, outlining, editing, research, translation, and paraphrasing. Every piece is read by an editor before it is sent. The text is thoroughly run through twelve detection and originality platforms, and the reports are sent along with the delivery email rather than kept in a folder here.
There is a more uncomfortable issue we should discuss. Detectors are not infallible. They produce odds, they do not always agree with each other, and they even sometimes flag prose that was written carefully and by hand. We publish the reports anyway, because an assessable score is more valuable than a badge you have to put faith in.
- Drafting: no model writes a first, second or final version.
- Outlining: the structure comes from a person who read the sources.
- Editing: nothing that rewrites your sentences for you.
- Research: no chatbot summaries standing in for reading.
- Humanizers: banned outright, and the reason engagements end.
The use of an AI humanizer tool on submitted work results in termination without warning. There is no warning step because this category of tool exists for a single purpose, and that purpose is to deceive.
Who Is Behind About Articled and the Writing Process?
Most applicants have around ten years of experience in their respective fields. Applications only come in one way: a two-sample submission and a one-paragraph description of what the applicant genuinely knows. Every one is read by a person, which is also why responses are not sent for about five working days after submission.
Editors sit between the brief and the writer. An editor reads what you send, confirms the quote by email, chooses the writer whose background fits, and asks the difficult question before drafting starts rather than after delivery. The same editor reads the finished draft. A second pair of eyes is not an upgrade in this situation.
We are transparent about our size. There is no overnight desk, no phone queue, and no account manager assigned to your logo. What exists instead is a writer named on every project, an editor who responds to email on working days, and a roster that grows slowly because vetting is the expensive part.
- Two samples of work submitted with a brief description of subjects that applicants are familiar with.
- An editor reviews each application. There are no automated screens.
- An edited, client work-style, paid test article with a detector check.
What About Articled Means for Every Customer
Freelancers and companies are charged the same, whether the order is 300 words or 300,000. We charge $10 per 100 words. We add a 1% fee. There are no volume discounts and no enterprise surcharge. For bulk orders the same writer stays on the account, which provides consistency worth more over a year than a percentage point off the invoice.
You will fully own the copyright upon delivery. We take no attribution and no license back to us. We will not sell or reuse your work for other clients. You receive the document, the detector reports, and two rounds of revisions for up to 14 days, which are done by the original writer.
What you trade is time. Since every piece needs to be read before it can be soundly written, delivery takes up to three days, and we will not pretend otherwise for the sake of a faster promise. If your deadline cannot fit that window, say so in the brief and you will get a yes or a no before we take payment.
A 1,000-word order generates writing worth $100 and incurs a $1 fee. The writer gets $100. Half of our fee goes to tree planting. The rest goes to the detector subscriptions and the editors.
About Articled FAQs
Writers go through a stringent vetting process based on their background in the given field rather than on their availability. Most have spent years working in it. An editor reads every application, which includes two samples and a paid trial piece. It is submitted with a signed agreement prohibiting generative tools at any stage.
No, and the list matters: not for drafting, outlining, editing, research, translation or paraphrasing. Spellcheck and the detection platforms we run analyze text rather than produce it, so those stay. Anything that writes sentences on a writer’s behalf is out, and hiding its use behind a humanizer ends the engagement.
Neither, quite. There are no profiles to browse and no bids to invite, and we do not mark up a writer’s rate and pocket the difference. An editor assigns the brief, the writer gets the full quoted rate, and the organization runs on the 1% added on top of it.
A fifth to a half of the client’s money disappearing into a platform was exactly what we objected to. One percent covers detector subscriptions, editors and hosting, as long as the operation stays small and we spend nothing on advertising. It is not a promotional rate that will expire later.
Yes. The writer’s name goes in the delivery email, and you can ask for them again the next time you commission work. If they are booked, we will say so plainly rather than substituting someone else and hoping the difference goes unnoticed.
Two rounds of revisions are included for 14 days and go back to the same writer. If a draft missed the brief rather than just needing a polish, tell us and we will reassign it. If we made a mistake and cannot rectify it, we process a refund instead of debating it.
The version with no organizational attachment: pay writers fairly, keep machines out of the writing, and show the process. Everything else on this site is the implementation of these three commitments.
Content a person actually wrote
$10 per 100 words, and the writer keeps all of it. Our 1% sits on top, 0.5% goes to trees, and no generated text appears anywhere in the process.
