Hermeneia

Editorial intelligence for publishing — controlled transformation that preserves structure, tone, and meaning, where fidelity is required, not approximation.

What It Is

Editing as a controlled transformation.

Hermeneia transforms text while holding its structure, voice, and semantic intent intact. It is built for publishers and editorial teams — contexts where drift in tone or meaning is a defect, not a stylistic choice.

Five operational modes adapt the same engine to translation, editing, and editorial review.

The Editorial Readiness Report.

Hermeneia returns a structured readiness assessment, including an AI Flatness Risk score — a measure of how much a text has lost the texture that marks human authorship.

Editors get a decision, with reasons — not a black-box rewrite.
