STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS OF WORK DELIVERY

The goal is to enhance the readability and comprehensibility of the document while maintaining the author's voice.

4. Style adherence: The document is checked to ensure that it adheres to the prescribed style guidelines, whether it's a specific academic style (APA, MLA, etc.) or industry-specific conventions. Formatting issues such as citations, references, headings, and margins are adjusted as necessary.

5. Quality assurance: A final review is conducted to ensure that all corrections and enhancements have been implemented accurately and consistently. This step involves thorough proofreading to catch any remaining errors or inconsistencies.
