Leadership

Five people, and what each of them is allowed to overrule.

An org chart tells you who reports to whom, which is rarely what you want to know. What matters when something goes wrong is who can decide, who cannot, and how you reach them — so this page is written as authority and its limits.

The teamWhat nobody can override
How the structure is set up
01Small on purpose — five roles, each with a named holder. Nothing routes through a department that could route through a person.
02Editorial outranks commercial — the managing editor can stop a delivery. Nobody in commercial can start one.
03Refusals sit outside the hierarchy — the published refusal list is not delegated to judgement at any level, including this one.
04Everyone still reads briefs — each person on this page carries live orders. A leadership team that has stopped reading briefs stops noticing what is broken.

The team.

Each role with what it decides, what it cannot do, and how to reach it.

Managing editor

Placeholder Name †

With the service since 2021 †

Owns the standard: the scorecard, the second-read checklist, the audit rota and the calibration exercises. Every published quality figure comes from this desk, including the ones that look bad, and the wording of a checklist amendment is theirs rather than marketing’s.

Decides
Whether a delivery is released or held
The scorecard, its weights and its pass mark
Whether a specialist stays on the panel
What quality figures get published, and how
Cannot
Approve an exception to the refusal list
Disclose client information without valid legal compulsion
Named address on the legal hub. Answers integrity offices and policy complaints directly.
Head of the academic desk

Placeholder Name †

With the service since 2022 †

Runs the academic managers — the people who read your brief, quote it and own it to delivery. Sets what a manager must ask before quoting, including the two screening questions on any timed assessment, and reviews every declined brief weekly.

Decides
Intake questions and quoting rules
How briefs are matched to specialists
Whether a deadline is honest enough to accept
Escalations from clients about handling
Cannot
Release work that a second reader has held
Change a confirmed quote after a client approves it
Via your academic manager, or ask for the desk head by name in any message.
Panel lead

Placeholder Name †

With the service since 2023 †

Recruits and re-verifies the specialists: credentials, blind sample assessment, paid trial piece, and re-verification every two years. Also owns capacity — which subjects are thin, and which briefs we should therefore be quoting longer or declining.

Decides
Who joins the panel and on what terms
Per-piece fees and the track-record uplift
Declared capacity limits per specialist
Which subjects are flagged as thinly staffed
Cannot
Score a piece they staffed
Waive the confidentiality agreement for any specialist
Applications and panel questions go through the careers page.
Operations and engineering

Placeholder Name †

With the service since 2021 †

Builds the constraints the confidentiality policy describes: the identity split at intake, metadata stripping, relayed messaging, logged and expiring access. Also owns the incident plan, including the decision to freeze records before anyone knows whether a concern is real.

Decides
System access controls and retention windows
Incident response, including freezing records
Which processors are used, subject to counsel
What the order page shows clients about a delay
Cannot
Grant themselves standing access to client records
Enable a direct channel between client and specialist
Security reports to the address on the legal hub; acknowledged within one working day.
Commercial and communications

Placeholder Name †

With the service since 2024 †

Pricing, the rate card, partnerships and everything published on the marketing pages. The constraint on this role is written down: no claim goes live unless a mechanism or clause behind it already exists, and the managing editor holds a veto over any quality claim.

Decides
Prices, the rate card and payment options
What appears on marketing pages
The affiliate and creator programme terms
Press responses and media enquiries
Cannot
Publish a quality claim the managing editor has not approved
Run campus marketing, students’ union placements or retargeting
Press and media enquiries via the press page.

Every name, tenure and portrait above is a placeholder. Nobody on this page is a real person — see the note at the foot of this page before publishing.

What nobody on this page can override.

A rule that can be escalated is a rule that will be, on the most profitable order of the month. These sit outside the hierarchy entirely — there is no approval route, which is the only way to make that true.

Article 06, in the code of ethics
Examinations, proctored assessments, and any brief requiring institutional credentials. No price and no seniority changes this.
Work about an assessment belonging to someone who has not asked for help.
The second read. A delivery cannot be released because a deadline is tight — that is what the internal buffer is for.
Confidentiality: no disclosure to an institution, employer or family member, ever, absent valid legal compulsion reviewed by counsel.
The automatic late-delivery refund. It pays out without anyone approving it, including the people on this page.

Escalating past a manager.

You do not need a reason to escalate, and you will not be asked for one.

Step 1Tell your academic manager plainly what is wrong. Most things are fixed here, same day.
Step 2Ask for the head of the academic desk by name. You do not need a reason to escalate and will not be asked for one.
Step 3Quality and standards questions go to the managing editor, whose address is on the legal hub. They answer personally.
Step 4If you would rather say it publicly, leave a review. Critical reviews are published with our reply and are not removed.

A named person is worth more than an org chart.

Send a brief and you get one — an academic manager who owns it end to end, and whose name you can ask for in any message afterwards.
