Lorescent + Strategic Storytelling Partnership

Annual partnership
From$75,000per year
Lorescent + EverStroll Brand + Always-On Story Studies + strategic support + pre-approved production capacity · governed Impartis research when scoped.

An embedded annual relationship connecting Lorescent, an EverStroll Brand Account, Always-On Story Studies, Story Stroll strategic support, and pre-approved production capacity, with Impartis available when the scope requires governed research intelligence.

Lorescent Basecamp with broad institutional team access
EverStroll Brand Account for Story Calls, QR-based story gathering, community participation, and a public Brand Story World
Always-On Story Studies under the standard Story Study scope and managed-capacity rules
Ongoing Story Stroll strategy, story development, and narrative planning
A prepaid production allotment used against an agreed Story Stroll rate sheet
Preferential partnership production rates and faster authorization inside the approved annual agreement
Impartis research-intelligence and science-communication access when included in the applicable partnership scope
Designed for teams that want one annual relationship spanning listening, intelligence, Story development, and the capacity to produce when the right Story appears.

Basecamp, Happy Valley, Chimney Rock, and Always-On form the Lorescent service ladder: software first, then progressively more Story Study capture and interpretation. Always-On removes the fixed annual Story Study allotment while preserving managed capacity. The Strategic Storytelling Partnership is the separate full-ecosystem relationship that adds an EverStroll Brand Account, deeper strategy, prepaid production capacity, and governed Impartis research when the scope requires it.

How the relationship expands

Start with software. Add human capacity only when you need it.

Basecamp keeps the software entry point simple. Happy Valley and Chimney Rock add defined Story Study capacity. Always-On removes the annual session allotment and replaces it with managed ongoing capture. The Strategic Storytelling Partnership then adds an EverStroll Brand Account, deeper strategy, and reserved production capacity in one annual agreement, with Impartis added when the work requires governed research intelligence.

Strategic PartnershipAlways-On Story Studies + EverStroll Brand + production relationship

Story Studies are story-first A-roll capture sessions built to do two jobs at once: create strong, reusable interviews for future storytelling and give Lorescent rich first-party material to structure and interpret. Story Stroll handles planning, interview capture, rights workflow, source delivery, and the transcript and Evidence Moment path into Lorescent. Final annual scope is confirmed in the agreement.

Inside Basecamp

One connected system from evidence to Story.

Basecamp includes the complete Lorescent workflow. Different teams can enter through different questions without rebuilding the underlying source analysis.

Understand what you are hearing

Discover recurring experiences, Story Leads, decision factors, friction, changing signals, institutional touchpoints, and evidence worth investigating.

Develop what matters

Turn what you learn into Story Concepts, Editorial pieces, monitored Stacks, communication Needs, follow-ups, and production-ready briefs.

Preserve institutional knowledge

Keep interviews, people, quotes, published work, source material, findings, and decisions connected instead of scattered across folders and individual memory.

Investigate more deeply

Use Constellation, Thread Weaver, cohort comparison, change over time, and Evidence Lab when a team needs to understand what is underneath a finding.

Work together

Reviews, assignments, comments, shared passages, follow-ups, and shared monitoring keep decisions attached to the work.

Govern the archive

Institution-controlled source destinations, rights, releases, Data Quality, Collection Sessions, access management, and audit history protect the source record.

Guided launch included

Institution setup, admin orientation, source/archive configuration, initial team setup, Collection Session guidance, and an initial archive-health review are included in the annual price. Advanced migrations or custom integrations can be scoped separately when needed.

Impartis · research intelligence

Connect research intelligence when the Story needs a scientific foundation.

Impartis is the research-intelligence and science-communication layer of the Storyverse. It structures scientific evidence, preserves claim-level provenance, and helps research and communications teams develop accurate audience-facing outputs. Lorescent and Impartis stay isolated unless the institution licenses both and explicitly connects the paired workspaces.

Available independently

Impartis can still be purchased or piloted independently when the need is research communication rather than story collection.

Available inside the Strategic Partnership

The $75,000+ Strategic Storytelling Partnership can include Impartis when research intelligence or science communication is part of the institutional scope.

Connect deliberately

Commercial inclusion does not automatically mix data. The institution explicitly connects the paired Lorescent and Impartis workspaces when approved research knowledge should move between them.

Lorescent levels stay focused

Basecamp, Happy Valley, Chimney Rock, and Always-On do not require Impartis and remain focused on human-source story intelligence.

Why production is inside the Strategic Partnership

Approve the capacity once. Act when the Story appears.

The production allotment is designed to remove a common institutional bottleneck: discovering a strong Story and then losing weeks to a new estimate, vendor review, PO, and contract cycle.

Strategic Partnership principle

A portion of the annual partnership investment becomes pre-approved production capacity. Each authorized project is charged against that balance at the agreed partnership rate from the Story Stroll rate sheet.

1 · Annual agreement

The institution approves Lorescent, an EverStroll Brand Account, Always-On Story Studies, strategic support, and a production allotment as one annual relationship, with Impartis added when scoped.

2 · Story identified

A Story Lead or Story Concept emerges through Lorescent, an EverStroll Story Call, a Collection Session, editorial planning, or the institution’s team.

3 · Lightweight authorization

The team approves the project against the available allotment and agreed rate sheet rather than reopening procurement.

4 · Production begins

The partnership rate is deducted from the remaining balance and Story Stroll moves into production.

Without pre-approved capacity

Story → estimate → approvals → procurement → PO / contract → production

Inside the partnership

Story → authorize against available allotment → production

Partnership rate sheets provide a modest preferential production rate for capacity invested ahead of time. Up to 50% of unused allotment can carry forward for 12 months when the institution renews. The allotment is non-refundable; unusual travel, talent, licensing, specialized equipment, or other material pass-through costs are approved separately when they fall outside the agreed production scope.
What the account does not require

Add institutional memory without adding another system to feed.

Lorescent is designed to make material you already collect more useful—not create another manual reporting obligation for your team.

No new CRM

Lorescent does not replace Slate, Salesforce, or the systems that own enrollment and constituent records.

No manual analytics upkeep

Admissions and other teams do not need to enter funnel metrics for Collection Session evidence to surface decision factors, expectations, barriers, or touchpoints.

No required Story Stroll production

Use the software independently or add Story Studies and Story Stroll production when they create value.

No seat-count incentive to keep people out

Basecamp is designed to support shared institutional learning rather than meter collaboration one teammate at a time.

How institutional procurement works

Invest through the process your institution requires.

Begin setup directly or route the investment through procurement. We collect only enough information to prepare the correct next step.

Secure payment link

Request a secure card payment link for an annual account when institutional policy allows it.

Invoice / PO

Use an invoice or PO when your institution requires formal procurement.

Vendor / procurement setup

Request vendor documentation, security materials, and procurement support before the agreement begins.

Review procurement, data use & portability
Start an institutional investment

Bring Lorescent to your institution.

Choose the relationship, tell us how your institution handles procurement, and give us enough context to begin setup without a second intake form.

Selected
Lorescent + Strategic Storytelling Partnership · from $75,000/year

Multi-year agreements can lock annual platform rates. Strategic Partnership terms also establish the production allotment, partnership rate sheet, authorization process, and carry-forward rules up front.

Submitting begins account setup or procurement; it does not create a binding agreement or charge a payment method.

Questions before investing

Institutional investment, without the mystery.

No. Basecamp and the higher relationship levels are designed as shared institutional workspaces. We do not want seat pricing to discourage communications, editorial, Admissions, leadership, or other relevant teammates from working from the same institutional memory.

Keep what your institution learns working.

Start with Basecamp software, add defined Story Study capacity through Happy Valley or Chimney Rock, move to $60,000/year Always-On Story Studies for continuous deep listening, or build a $75,000+ Strategic Storytelling Partnership connecting Lorescent, an EverStroll Brand Account, Always-On capture, strategy, and pre-approved production capacity, with Impartis added when relevant.
