Story · From intake to delivery
Follow one rough brief through the desk.
The DD experience should feel like controlled file movement. The visitor sees what changes:
a rough request becomes a named route, then a checked delivery packet.
Inbound
Brief arrives rough
Languages, files, deadline, audience, and controls are separated before quoting.
Needs routeRisk
Risk gets named
Script handling, reviewer availability, timing pressure, and file access are called out early.

Routing · Pick your entry point
Start where the risk shows up.
AI teams, media teams, and LSP partners do not bring the same problem.
Pick the lane that matches the pressure, then send the brief with the
files, language list, deadline, and delivery requirements.
This sample shows the kinds of script and sourcing questions DD checks during intake.
Active means a practical route is already known.
On-request means lead time must be confirmed first.
Six checkpoints from intake to close. Timing markers below reflect a typical
4-week program; uncommon-language sourcing or compliance-heavy work extends the
early phases and is confirmed during intake.

Evidence · What controlled delivery looks like
Proof should look like work product, not bragging.
Buyers do not need inflated claims. They need to see the artifacts that reduce rework:
notes, deltas, timing checks, and route summaries.

Diagnostic · Buyer risk reduced
A procurement-ready read on where the risk sits.
Same facts, sharper view: current vendor problem, DD handling, and the
buyer risk that gets reduced before work moves.
Risk line
Current vendor problem
DD handling
Buyer risk reduced
Uncommon pair availability
Many rosters concentrate on high-volume pairs; uncommon pairs often require extended sourcing
Coverage is checked during intake; lead time is named before commitments are made
Refugee, indigenous, and small-diaspora communities are not served through standard rosters.
Quote turnaround
Typical quoting follows an intake form and a discovery call
Brief-led requests can move to a written reply before a call when the inputs are clear
Compressed timelines rarely survive a multi-step sales cycle.
White-label / overflow
Co-branding or named-subcontractor disclosure is the more common arrangement
Deliverables, communications, and outputs carry your brand; subcontractor disclosure is coordinated against your client terms before work starts
When you're already in a client relationship, overflow capacity needs to align with your existing disclosure terms.
Multi-language coordination
One contact per language pair is common; cross-pair coordination falls to the client
One DD contact coordinates sourcing, review, deadlines, and deliverables across all pairs in a program
A 12-language rollout shouldn't require 12 separate vendor relationships.
Documentation deliverables
Translated files; delivery notes are often an add-on or omitted
File summary, change notes, glossary deltas, and delivery notes available on request
Procurement and client teams need context, not just final files.
Controls
Controls and documentation vary by provider and by service line
Access, documentation needs, and file movement are confirmed for the requested lane
Sensitive work needs controls named before files move.
Triggers · When teams call
What usually triggers a brief.
Five patterns account for most engagements that land here. They tend to
surface during a quarterly program review, after a vendor RFQ comes back
wrong, or in the week before a regulatory deadline.
A current vendor cannot cover the language pair: particularly uncommon, indigenous, or refugee-resettlement languages.
Timeline is compressed beyond standard vendor sourcing: multilingual launches, regulatory deadlines, public-safety releases.
Multi-language rollout needs one coordination point: instead of routing through five separate LSPs.
Compliance-sensitive work needs clean controls: NDA needs, access rules, and delivery notes named before work starts.
Overflow support for LSP partners: white-label delivery without client-facing exposure.
Intake · Sample brief
What a one-page program brief looks like.
For brief-led requests, seven fields are often enough to start a reply.
Send them by email or paste them into the form. We return a written reply,
timeline, sourcing plan, and risk notes after review.

FAQ · Procurement questions
What teams ask before sending a brief.
Questions we hear most often before a project starts. If yours
isn't here, send it in the brief and we'll answer in the project reply.
Can you cover an uncommon language pair on a short-deadline brief?
Sometimes. DD checks the pair during intake and replies with availability, sourcing time, or a safer option. Uncommon languages are a strength, but we do not promise bench depth until the route and deadline are confirmed.
Do you sign an NDA before file discussion?
Yes. DD can review NDA needs before sensitive files move. Use your agreement when approved, or ask for DD's agreement option if that is cleaner for the request. The goal is to settle access before source material enters the workflow.
How does pricing work — per-word, per-hour, or project?
Pricing follows the work type. Translation and localization are usually per word or file; interpreting is hourly; media is often per source minute; AI data can be per unit or project. The written reply ties price to files, languages, and deadline.
What does white-label delivery mean for LSP overflow?
Your client relationship stays yours. DD supports the work behind the scenes, with deliverables and communication aligned to your brand. Disclosure language follows your client agreements. It is meant for overflow, uncommon-pair sourcing, or capacity gaps that should stay quiet.
Can you handle compliance-sensitive files?
Yes, when the file route is clear. DD confirms NDA needs, access limits, reviewer visibility, and delivery notes before regulated or confidential material is handled. If a risk appears during intake, DD flags it before the file moves further.
Can you coordinate across five or more language pairs in one program?
Yes. A single DD contact can coordinate sourcing, deadlines, and deliverables across the pairs. The goal is one usable cadence instead of several loose vendor threads. The brief still names language-specific risks so no pair is treated as automatic.
What does your review documentation look like?
On request, DD can include delivery notes, change notes, glossary deltas, and a file summary. The documentation package is confirmed before work starts. This keeps context attached to the files without creating surprise admin work at the end.
How do you handle sensitive-file escalations during a program?
DD flags sensitive-file issues in writing and pauses when direction is needed. We do not reroute regulated, confidential, or questionable source material without buyer confirmation. The buyer decides whether to proceed, change access, or narrow the work.
