After the introductions, I would expect a detailed explaination of what you are looking for and what your goals are. What you are expecting and how you think it's possible. I might add a few suggestions based on my experiences as well and this will all be done over chat or call (video/audio) before we get to actually writing anything. We will also decide on the deliverables and turnarounds as well as pricing if needed.
After that, you can expect the first draft at the specified date (within 1-2 days, if not a few hours, depending on the size of the article) and at this point I would want you to be as critical as you can be. Give me all the feedback, good and bad and we will go from there.
I'll make the revisions and send them over. You are free to request for unlimited revisions without any extra cost as long as you provide detailed feedback on what needs to be revised and the reasoning behind it.
Once it meets your standards, we will finalize the whole thing and you may release the funds.
(If we work long term, you will have to be extra critical about the feedback on the first few (like 2-3) articles, after that it's pretty easy for me to replicate that indefinitely.)
