Human-Only Consultation Summaries for Brands and Teams
A consultation summary is a record, and its only true merit is its accuracy. If 62 of 148 respondents were against the proposal, the document states that number upfront, before addressing the support found in other sections.
Ours are written by someone who reads every single response, codes the themes as they arise rather than in a prescribed order, and quotes the respondents in their own voice. No part of the reading and no part of the counting are automated.
Why Real Writers Matter for No-AI Consultation Summaries
The worth lies in the reading. A theme earns its place when a person has gone through every contribution and experienced the same argument from three different perspectives and in three different tones. Skimming the top will get you a summary of the loudest responses, not the whole.
All responses read, not just a portion.
Counts for theme identification can be defended if challenged.
Views that are minority or hostile, documented at their true value.
Where AI falls down on consultation summaries
Ask a model to summarize 400 responses, and it provides a summary of what responses to that type of question typically say. Outliers are smoothed over, a consensus that no one expressed appears, and it does not say what it did not already say. Counting is the whole product in this context.
How We Build No-AI Consultation Summaries Around Your Brief
Share responses with personal information redacted, and include the questions and the categories you use to classify respondents. The writer reads the set to get an overview, a second time to code the responses, and then constructs the summary based on what the counts reveal. When two themes are found to be one, they will note and justify the consolidation.
How a consultation summary gets written here
You provide redacted responses, the questions from the consultation, and any group classifications of respondents.
First read gives an overview, second read codes for themes.
Counts are reviewed, then quotes are chosen to fairly represent each theme.
First draft produced with a note to method outlining how the themes were derived.
Choosing the Right No-AI Consultation Summaries Package
Summary length is based on the number of unique themes, not number of responses. A large number of responses to a question (400), may only require a 1,200 word summary, while a smaller number (90) of detailed submissions may need 5,000 words and an appendix. Provide a sample of the full set to us, and we will identify the appropriate tier to you before your procurement.
Submissive count presented at count portion.
Functional fragments of quotes selected for their general tooled meanings.
A descriptor note addressing coding and the way ties were sorted.
An appendix sorting the unanswered responses into each category.
Flexible reports, detector reports, and a full licensing page.
What people commission consultation summaries for
Publishing responses to a mandatory consultation.
Reporting member feedback to a board.
Summarizing free text responses to a funder.
Documenting engagement prior to a change in service.
What consultation summaries cost
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

No-AI Consultation Summaries Pricing FAQs
Yes. Send two or three pieces you like the sound of, or your style guide. Matching an established voice is ordinary work for a writer and close to impossible for a model that has never read your back catalogue.
Yes. Tell us the volume and cadence and we keep the same writer on the account so the voice stays consistent. The rate does not change with volume.
Yes. It is the reason for paying an external person to write it. It becomes apparent and is stated early if the majority of the respondents request the summary to be stated. The next step is entirely yours, and your governance and legal team will sign off before it is published.
Black it out before you send. The person writing the summary needs the text and the category of the response, not the person’s name, address and email header. The response exports from the platform are hosted, and the identifying columns are removed first. We confirm in writing what we received and delete the files once the revision window closes.

Took the full three days, but solid
I got three days of quiet hopes, which is what they promised, so I only have myself to blame. Your brief is well done with appropriate hedging where evidence is lacking. My director practically ignored the nine hundred words and marked two.
Reading age was a key requirement and they nailed it almost everywhere. One paragraph still said mitigation, which no tenant uses. It took me about thirty seconds to change it myself. The remaining part is the clearest version of this page we’ve had in the last six years.

Trade press ran it almost as is
Two out of four outlets put your article out exactly like it was in our lead paragraph. Every other lead-in has either ignored or rewritten our releases. What’s notable here is that our lead-in this time was our measurement change, while in the past it was company achievement.
