Much technical and business writing must take English form. My diverse background may be useful in 'nativizing' the English for important documents. Fixed-price, one-page "test jobs" are most welcome. They are ideally suited to develop trust in a new client relationship risk-free. Prospective clients may have me edit, draft or analyze a one-page sample for evaluation. Working directly with principals is far preferred over dealing with agents since direct dealings save time and money for clients while simplifying the communication channel. Regression-analysis services are available, especially for laboratory experimental datasets: variable significance testing, multi-collinear risk detection, residual imbalance assessment, measurement scatter troubleshooting, and linear transformation development. Sampling of prior lab-data regression work is available on request. My long-standing "Statement of Investment Principles" detailing all transactions and performance (12.3% vs. 9.3% S&P 500) over a ten-year period (Jun 1996 - Dec 2006) is available on request. Where science and investment cross paths, I may be of unique service. *** STREAMLINED EDITING PROCESS ($2.50 per 100 words) *** Ideally, our editing workflow can be ultra-direct: original text, initial freelance edits, client direct re-edit, final freelance edit suggestions. Smaller, text-only, non-graphical files are ideal for section-by-section, prose-only drafts and edits -- my main Upwork activity. *** BROAD PORTFOLIO OF ASSIGNMENTS *** Business plan re-write seeking 500k EUR capital to ramp up production of a most advanced home-care monitor for US and UK markets. Business plan executive summary re-write for a 'fin-tech' company seeking 20M EUR initial capital and a 250M EUR second round for banking licenses. Written white paper "Construction-Site Fatalities and Injuries: Exposure Reduction by an Innovative, Technological Solution" Written business analysis "First Solar: Land-Intensive, Seasonal, Part-Time Energy" Rotterdam School of Management article edits (12): "Never Change a Winning Team?" "Temporary De-Embedding Buyer-Supplier Relationships: A Complexity Perspective" "Allocating Resources to New Product Technologies: Adapt, Disrupt, or Both?" "Strategic Alliances and Industry Shocks: An Attention-based View" "In-house Crowdsourcing: the Role of Team Formation" "New Product Development in an Omnichannel World" "Shape the Future or Not? How Performance Orientations Affect Innovation Strategy" "Do Disruptive Visions Pay Off? The Impact of Disruptive Entrepreneurial Visions on Venture Funding" "Creativity and Innovation Under Constraints: A Cross-Disciplinary Integrative Review and Research Agenda" "Knowledge Acquisition and Complementary Specialization in Alliances: The Impact of Technological Overlap and Alliance Experience" "Performance Feedback and Middle Managers’ Divergent Strategic Behavior: The Roles of Social Comparisons and Organizational Identification" "The Trade-Off Between Opportunistic Private Benefit Extraction and Common Benefit Potential in Alliances: the Interplay of Competitive and Cooperative Behavior Regarding Differential Benefits in U.S. Joint Ventures" "Improving order-fulfilment responsiveness via flow-shop model: Field study at a European distribution centre" Statistical analysis "Skills-Based Instruction vs. Meaning-Based Instruction in Reading” Multiple regression analysis of window's thermal-optical performance for use in skyscraper double-skin façade energy simulation Quantitative benefits of a nano-tech spray coating that eliminates heat exchanger corrosion while boosting conductivity. "Improving service life of magnesium reduction steel retorts against creep collapse by structural modification" "Sharing of Crisis Information in Social Media: The Roles of Distance, Perspective-Taking, and Feelings" "Social Engineering Security for Information-Communication Technology Systems" "Women's Labor Market Opportunities and Fertility Decisions: Evidence from Sri Lanka" *** BUSINESS PLAN (BP) PHILOSOPHY ($500) *** After completion of a brief questionnaire, our BP format will initially showcase: 1- a customized "business-specific" Table of Contents 2- a unique "Key Business Questions Answered" page 3- a well-reasoned Executive Summary featuring the most salient business metrics What I can bring to the table is the investor's viewpoint. Since investors like myself value "margins of safety", conservative financial exhibits are best. ABC/CNBC's "Shark Tank" or "The Profit" fairly depicts the key investment issues: How much does it cost to operate? What price can be charged? How many units have been sold? What unique advantage do you have? How will new capital be used? Warren Buffett has often bought businesses after reading just one page. That is the very page that we want to draft to outline a compelling anatomy of your business.
