Sheet 02 — What we do
A steady hand for work that usually happens alone.
Independent reporting rarely comes with a support system. Records pile up without a structure, interviews arrive without a plan, and long projects stretch on without anyone checking in. Caventra was built to sit alongside that work — not to report the story for you, but to help you carry it.
- ✓ Sessions built around your actual files and questions
- ✓ Nothing recorded or shared without your say-so
- ✓ Practical templates you keep and reuse

Sheet 05 — Approach
How we work with you.
- ✓ Sessions shaped around what you already have, not a generic template
- ✓ Your notes and files stay yours — nothing is recorded on your behalf
- ✓ Attention to pace and workload, not just deadlines
- ✓ Plain, written summaries you can return to later
If a story feels harder to hold onto than it should, that's usually a sign it's time to talk.

What working with Caventra looks like.
"My archive went from unusable to something a colleague could pick up cold. The index template alone was worth the session."
Ratna Wulandari
Freelance reporter
"The question sheet changed how I opened a sensitive conversation. I stopped rushing to the hard question too early."
Bimo Santoso
Investigative writer
"Six months into a project I was ready to drop. The check-ins kept the scope honest and kept me going."
