Write for us

We publish first-hand, numbers-backed writing about choosing and paying for AI models. If you've done the work and have the figures to prove it, we'd like to read it — and we pay.

What we publish

Writing that helps an engineering or product team make a model decision they can defend. The bar is first-hand experience or original analysis — something the reader cannot get by asking a chatbot to summarise a docs page.

  • Migration write-ups: what moving between models actually cost you in time, money and quality regressions.
  • Evaluation methodology: how you built an eval that predicted production behaviour, including what it failed to catch.
  • Cost engineering: caching strategies, batching, routing between models, and the real numbers before and after.
  • Benchmark critique: where a published score diverges from what you measured, with your methodology shown.
  • Self-hosting economics: what open-weights inference costs once you include the parts nobody puts in the blog post.
  • Procurement and governance: how a team actually gets a model approved, and what slowed it down.

What we turn down

  • Roundups assembled from other people's roundups. If the research was a search engine, it isn't for us.
  • Anything with a link-building brief attached. We don't sell links, and a do-follow request ends the conversation.
  • Vendor content in disguise. Write about your own product and we'll decline; write about a problem and mention your product once in the byline, and we'll read it.
  • AI-generated drafts. We can tell, and so can readers.
  • Pieces with no numbers. This is a site about evidence.

What you get

  • A fee, agreed before you write — we don't ask for free labour for exposure.
  • A byline with your name, one-line bio and one link of your choosing.
  • Real editing. We'll push back on structure and unsupported claims, and you approve the final version before it goes live.
  • No exclusivity beyond 30 days. Republish on your own site afterwards with a canonical link back.

House style

  • 1,200–2,500 words. Long enough to show your working, short enough to finish.
  • Lead with the finding, not the setup. The first paragraph should be the thing you'd tell a colleague in a lift.
  • Show the numbers, and say how you got them. A chart with an unexplained axis is worse than a sentence.
  • Name the limitations. Every method has them, and a piece that hides them reads as marketing.
  • Plain British or American English, used consistently. No em-dash-heavy throat-clearing, no 'in today's fast-paced landscape'.

How it works

  1. Send the pitch below — a working title, the argument in a sentence or two, and a rough outline. No finished draft needed.
  2. We reply within a week, either way. If we pass, we say why.
  3. If it's a fit, we agree scope, fee and a delivery date in writing before you start.
  4. You draft; we edit; you approve. Usually one round, occasionally two.
  5. We publish, credit you, and send you the link.
