Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Localisation Lead

Weighted verdict

Ships every piece in German, English and French for the DACH region and beyond. Wants locales on the field, not copies of the entry, translation status per language, and a documented export of content, model and locales — because a repository that cannot leave is a hostage, not an asset.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Planning, editorial calendar & briefs

How this is scored

Turning a content strategy into scheduled work: topics and campaigns, an editorial calendar across channels, briefs that carry the goal, audience and keywords to the writer, and a view of what is due, late or missing.

0 — No planning features; content is created as standalone entries with no calendar, status or owner.

3 — A shared calendar with publish dates and simple statuses, but no briefs, no campaigns or topics to group work under, and no notion of who owns a piece.

5 — An editorial calendar across channels with owners, due dates and custom statuses, briefs attached to each piece, and content grouped by campaign or topic cluster.

8 — Strategy is connected to the plan: topics or personas defined once and assigned to pieces, configurable workflows per content type, workload and deadline views per person, and recurring formats scheduled as series.

10 — The plan is accountable: every published piece traces back to its brief, topic and campaign, gaps in coverage per topic or funnel stage are reported, and plan-versus-published is visible over time without a spreadsheet.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

Briefings run at topic, story and piece level carrying audience, strategic requirements, personas, deadlines, budget and working teams, with an ideas area and editorial and topic conferences that turn ideas into scheduled stories. I found no public information on custom statuses, per-person workload views or recurring formats scheduled as series. 1 5 6

Report an error

Creation, review & approval

How this is scored

Writing and reviewing content together: editing with comments and suggestions, roles and permissions for internal and external contributors, and an approval trail that records who released which version.

0 — Single-user editing with no comments, no roles beyond admin, and no record of changes.

3 — Comments and a version history exist, but every user can publish, external writers need a full seat, and approval is a status anyone can set.

5 — Roles that separate writing from publishing, inline comments and suggested edits, a version history with restore, and guest or freelancer access limited to assigned pieces.

8 — Configurable multi-step approval per content type or market, mandatory reviewers (legal, product, brand), scheduled publishing that waits for approval, and an audit log of every edit, approval and publish with user and timestamp.

10 — Approval is evidence: the exact version each approver released is preserved and exportable, permissions reach down to field and locale level, and the audit trail is retained for a stated period and available after the contract ends.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

The release function supports approval, rejection with a reason, a revision deadline and task assignment to a person or team, and version control shows who changed what and restores earlier versions. I found no public information on roles separating writing from publishing, inline suggested edits, multi-step approval per content type, or how long the audit trail is retained. 7 8 9 14

Structured content, localisation & export

How this is scored

Whether content is stored as reusable structure rather than pages: a content model, components shared across channels, German and other locales managed side by side, and the whole repository exportable in a documented format.

0 — Content stored as formatted pages with no structure, one language per entry, and no export beyond copy and paste.

3 — Custom fields or templates exist, but localisation means duplicating entries, assets live elsewhere, and the only export is HTML or a CSV of titles.

5 — A configurable content model with reusable components, field-level localisation with fallback languages, a media library with alt text, and an export of entries and assets in JSON or a similar documented format.

8 — References between entries, variants per market or audience, translation workflows with status per locale and connectors to translation services named, and a full export of content, model, locales and assets documented and self-service.

10 — The repository is portable by design: model and content exportable together and re-importable, migration tooling or a CLI documented in both directions, version history included in the export, and no feature that only works while the content stays.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

Language variants are configured once per project and multilingual pieces created, so locales sit on the contribution rather than on copies, and a DeepL connector plus a GraphQL API for extracting data and content exist. But the documented structured export I insist on is not evidenced: the knowledge base shows a PDF export of a custom view, and while a data export before termination is confirmed, no format is named. I found no public information on per-locale translation status, fallback languages, reusable components, or a self-service export of content, model, locales and assets. 9 10 11 12 14

Publishing, distribution & integrations

How this is scored

Getting approved content to where it is read: publishing to websites and channels, a documented API and webhooks, and named connections to the CMS, CRM, analytics, SEO and translation tools a marketing stack already runs.

0 — Content leaves only by copy and paste; no API, no webhooks and no named integrations.

3 — Publishing to one CMS through a plugin, a handful of named integrations, and an API that is mentioned but not publicly documented.

5 — Publishing to websites and several channels from one place, a publicly documented REST or GraphQL API, webhooks on publish and change, and integrations named for at least the common CMS, CRM and analytics tools.

8 — A versioned API with published rate limits and SDKs, preview environments, a marketplace or integration directory with maintained connectors, performance data per piece pulled back from analytics, and a public status page.

10 — The platform is a dependable source for every channel: API deprecation policy published, CDN and delivery SLA stated, scheduled and event-driven publishing documented end to end, and content performance attributed per channel without a separate tool.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

A marketplace with named connectors across social channels, asset management, analytics, intranet and press, a GraphQL API publicly described for distributing publish-ready content to external systems and receiving updates back, and a public SaaS status page. I found no public information on webhooks on publish and change, SDKs, published rate limits, or per-piece performance data pulled back from analytics. 1 11 12

AI assistance & content rights

How this is scored

What the platform's AI does with the customer's content and what the customer may do with the AI's: the models and where they run, whether content trains them, opt-out, labelling of generated text, and who holds the rights to output.

0 — AI writing features with no statement on which model is used, where content is sent, or whether it is used for training.

3 — An AI page that names a provider but leaves open whether customer content trains models, where prompts are processed, or whether the features can be switched off.

5 — The model providers named as subprocessors, customer content excluded from training stated in the terms, AI features switchable per workspace by an admin, and ownership of generated output assigned to the customer.

8 — EU processing for AI features stated or selectable, retention of prompts and outputs given in days, generated or AI-edited content markable for EU AI Act transparency, and brand voice or terminology rules applied without uploading content to train a shared model.

10 — AI is governed and documented: per-feature list of model, provider and processing location, admin controls per role and content type, an audit trail of AI-generated changes, and the output rights and any indemnity written into the contract terms.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

Models are named (Amazon Nova, Anthropic Claude) and run EU-only on AWS Bedrock with provider-side retention of effectively zero days, customer data excluded from training, AI usage events recorded in the audit trail, outputs kept as drafts under human review, and web search off by default with an EU provider as the default. I found no public information on ownership of generated output, EU AI Act labelling of generated text, or a per-workspace admin switch for the AI features. 2 13 14

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity is, where content, assets and AI prompts are stored and processed, and which subprocessors touch them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.

0 — Non-EU contracting entity, no statement on where content is hosted, and subprocessors unnamed.

3 — Content hosted in the EU on request or on a higher plan only, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI and analytics features send content outside the EU without an explained safeguard.

5 — EU hosting stated for content and assets, a DPA available, but the contracting entity or significant parts of the chain (CDN, AI, support) are non-EU without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU contracting entity, content, assets and backups stored in the EU on named infrastructure, subprocessor list published with locations and purposes, and AI processing location stated.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, EU entity, every hosting, CDN, AI and support subprocessor European or optional, self-hosting or a European cloud offered, and certifications published.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

AI processing is stated to run entirely in the EU (Frankfurt, AWS Bedrock with EU-only inference profiles), which is the transparency I want on the AI chain. However, a German server is offered only in connection with larger or more complex organisations, and I found no public information confirming the contracting entity's jurisdiction, a general statement on where content and assets are hosted, or a subprocessor list with locations and purposes. 2 14

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the annual cost for their team, locales and traffic from public pages alone — seats and contributor roles, locales, content records, API calls and bandwidth, AI credits, and the plan where approval workflows or SSO begin.

0 — No public prices at all; every plan is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price per month, but what it includes is vague and the limits that drive the real cost (locales, records, API calls, AI credits) are unstated.

5 — Plans priced per seat with their main limits listed, but at least one commonly incurred cost (extra locales, overage on records or API calls, AI credits, guest contributors) is missing or "on request".

8 — Every plan priced with seats, locales, records, API and bandwidth limits and overage rates stated, AI usage priced or included explicitly, and the plan that unlocks approval workflows, SSO and audit logs named.

10 — Complete cost computability: annual cost derivable for a given team, locale count and traffic, every add-on and overage priced publicly, contract term and renewal conditions stated, and the cost of exporting or leaving the platform zero or published.

Report an error

The Localisation Lead

Plan tiers are named with their target audiences, a free ONE plan exists, AI and Community Management are paid add-ons and custom licensing is a sales conversation — but the captured pages show no price figures, no seat or usage limits, and no pricing for AI credits even though the two AI modes consume them differently. I found no public information on any numeric price or on which plan unlocks approval workflows. 2 12 13
