How it works

What happens, who holds it, and when you see it

Six steps, fifteen dated stages and one record you can read at any hour. A senior doctor from your own specialty and a professional medical writer stay with the thesis from topic to submission, every draft is marked where the text actually is, and you remain the sole author throughout.

The engagement

The shape of it

One record, fifteen dated stages, four things that never change

The process below is not unusual. It is what a well-run department already expects of its own residents, written down so that you can hold us to it.

A thesis is not a purchase. It is a supervised piece of original research with statutory dates attached, assessed inside your practical and viva examination and read by an external examiner who reads for a living.[1] So the work is organised around a record rather than around a sale: fifteen named stages, each with a date and a role that holds it, and a dashboard where you can see which one you are in without asking anybody.

Four things stay true from the first enquiry to the bound copy, whichever service you buy and whatever happens in between.

  • The record opens first

    Your record is created with your first enquiry and carries a reference from that moment. Every stage that follows is dated on it, so progress is something you read rather than something you ask about.

  • The same two people throughout

    A senior doctor who teaches in your own specialty and a professional medical writer, named in your dashboard on assignment, with a biostatistician added for the stages that need one. Not an introductory call and then a queue.

  • You remain the sole author

    You choose the topic, obtain ethics approval, collect your own data and sign the thesis. You remain its sole author on the ICMJE criteria[4], and our name appears nowhere in it.

  • Nothing important happens in a chat

    Drafts are read in a view-only viewer, comments attach to the exact point on the page, and replies stay with the comment. A message in the thread reaches the person who holds that stage.

§ II — SIX STEPS

THE PROCESS OF RECORD

Six steps, and you can watch every one of them happen.

  1. PLATE 01 · THE RECORD OPENS01 / 06
    ILLUSTRATION OF OUR OWN METHOD · NOT A STUDENT’S DOCUMENT

    Step 1 of 6. Register and share your requirement

    Your course, specialty, university, submission deadline and where you stand today. A senior doctor reads it and replies within one working day with a feasibility opinion. Your record opens at the same time, with a reference on it.

    Step 2 of 6. Meet your team

    A senior doctor who teaches in your own specialty, a professional medical writer, and a biostatistician when your design needs one. They are named in your dashboard on assignment, and they stay with the thesis until submission.

2. Review of literature

Intrathecal adjuvants have been investigated for four decades with the shared aim of prolonging sensory blockade without extending motor recovery or compromising haemodynamic stability. Alpha-2 adrenergic agonists occupy a particular place in this literature because their analgesic action is mediated at the dorsal horn rather than by sodium channel blockade, which allows a qualitatively different contribution to the block.

Clonidine, the earlier and less selective of the two agents examined here, has an alpha-2 to alpha-1 selectivity ratio of approximately 200:1. Its intrathecal use has been reported to prolong both sensory and motor blockade in a dose-dependent fashion, with the most consistent benefit described between 30 and 75 micrograms. Above that range the reported incidence of hypotension and sedation rises steeply, which has limited its adoption in day-care settings.

The review

Protected drafts

Reviewing a draft, step by step

The part of the process people find hardest to picture, and the part that decides whether a correction actually reaches the thesis. Here it is in order.

  1. A draft arrives in your record

    Each chapter is released as a numbered version on your thesis page, with its page count, its date and its MDSoftune uniqueness report attached. It opens in a view-only viewer inside your account. There is no file in your inbox and no link to share.

  2. Read the report before you read the chapter

    The report lists what was flagged, where, and what was done about it, so you open the chapter already knowing which passages were rewritten and which are standard clinical phrasing you are entitled to keep.

  3. Click the exact spot you want changed

    Not “page 10, somewhere in the third paragraph”. Click or tap the line itself, or move the crosshair with the arrow keys and press Enter. The pin stores the page and the position on it, so the note and the text it is about never come apart.

  4. Say what kind of change it is

    Choose Edit, Add, Remove or Question, then write the note in your own words. The intent is what tells the writer whether you are correcting a sentence, asking for a missing one, or querying whether something belongs at all.

  5. Your team answers in the thread

    The writer or the doctor replies on the pin itself, and marks it resolved only when the next version addresses it. An unresolved pin is carried forward rather than forgotten, because it is a row on your record and not a message somebody has to remember.

  6. Compare the versions

    No version is ever overwritten. Every draft stays in the list with its own threads and its own report, so you can see how the thesis developed and confirm that your guide's feedback was applied before you sign anything off.

  7. Download when the account is settled

    Reading drafts never depends on payment. The download of the final formatted thesis unlocks when the balance is settled, and until then each page you read is watermarked with your own name and email.

The four intents, and what each one means

Marking the intent takes one tap and saves a round trip, because the writer knows what you were asking for before reading a word of the note.

  • This sentence is wrong, clumsy or not what I meant. Change it.

  • Something is missing here — a result, a citation, a limitation.

  • This does not belong in the chapter, or it repeats what is above.

  • I do not follow this, or I could not defend it in a viva as written.

What one pin holds

Page and position
The page number and the point on that page, stored as fractions of the page box so the pin sits in the same place at every screen size.
Intent
Edit, add, remove, question or a plain comment.
The text it sits over
Captured with the pin, so the note still makes sense after the paragraph around it has been rewritten.
Status
Open, in progress or resolved — set by whoever is doing the work, not by the clock.
The thread
Your note, every reply to it, and who wrote each one.

The draft itself is streamed to you through an authenticated route rather than handed over as a file, and the watermark carries the name and email of whoever opened the page. How the viewer is built.

ClosedKept on the record

This project is closed.

A stage carries a date when it completes, and a milestone carries a due date with the days remaining counted against it. The labels and descriptions above are read from the same configuration the dashboard renders, so this page cannot say one thing while your account says another.

Your part

What we need from you

The stages only you can move

Several stages on your record wait on you, and no amount of software changes that. Saying so plainly before you pay is the difference between a mentor and a vendor.

  • Ethics approval in your name

    We prepare the committee pack — protocol, patient information sheet, consent form and case record proforma. You submit it to your own institutional ethics committee and hold the approval, as the ICMR guidelines cited in § V require.

  • Your own data

    You collect it, from your own patients and records, on the proforma your mentor signed off. Nobody else can do this part for you, and a dataset you did not collect is not your research.

  • Your guide in the loop

    Your university guide remains your supervisor. Topic, synopsis and every chapter go to them for approval, and your mentor writes to be read alongside them rather than around them.

  • A decision at each version

    A draft waits for your review, not for a deadline. Pins you leave open hold the next version, so the stage that moves slowest is usually the one waiting on a reading.

  • The writing stays yours

    We mentor, analyse, edit and format. We decline to write a thesis to be submitted as somebody else's work, every time we are asked. The charter says so in writing.

The protections that travel with every stage

Protection of your work

  • Row-level security

    Every table enforces row-level access. You read your own record, and nothing else.

  • View-only streaming

    Drafts are streamed to you through an authenticated route, not handed over as a file.

  • Watermarked to you

    Every page you read carries your own name and email across it.

  • Download gated

    The final file unlocks when the fee is settled in full, and not before.

  • Mumbai region · DPDP 2023

    Your record and your documents are held in the Mumbai region, so India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 applies to them.

  • Anonymised data only

    We accept no patient identifiers. An NDA is available on request.
