# Quarra Italia Content Ownership Model

## Overview

For the Quarra Italia website build, Asymmetric and the Quarra Italia team adopted a **divided content ownership model**: Asymmetric provides structural outlines for each page section, and the Quarra Italia team writes the actual copy. This approach ensures technical accuracy and correct industry terminology while keeping Asymmetric in the driver's seat for content architecture.

This model was established during a staging review call in November 2025 and applies specifically to the Artisanal Carving and Architectural pages, where specialized stone-carving vocabulary and accurate representation of services are critical.

## The Model

### Asymmetric's Role: Outline and Structure

Asymmetric provides a written outline for each page that specifies:
- What each section should cover (e.g., "three-sentence summary of the service")
- The intended purpose and tone of each content block
- Section identifiers so both teams can reference the same areas

This gives the Quarra Italia team a clear brief without requiring Asymmetric to guess at technical terminology they don't own.

### Quarra Italia's Role: Copy and Accuracy

The Quarra Italia team — specifically **Federica** (project coordinator), **Martin** (head of carving), and **Dan** (Martin's right-hand, native English speaker) — writes the actual copy using Asymmetric's outlines as a guide.

The rationale: Martin and Dan know the jargon of the stone-carving and fine art industry. Federica coordinates the collaboration. Having subject-matter experts write the copy avoids misrepresentation of technical processes and ensures the language resonates with the target audience (architects, designers, fine art buyers).

> *"Martin is kind of the head of the carving operation and Dan is his right-hand man. Both native English speakers. They know the jargon of the industry."* — Fede, November 2025 call

## Pages This Applies To

### Artisanal Carving Page
- Asymmetric sends outline to Federica
- Federica coordinates with Martin and Dan to draft copy
- Particular attention needed on plaster mold terminology and carving process descriptions
- Potential future link to the [[wiki/clients/quarra-italia/projects/matthew-hart-catalog|Matthew Hart digital catalog]] from this page

### Architectural Page
- Same outline-then-copy workflow
- Additional complexity: Quarra Italia's architectural portfolio is nascent; content will draw on Quarra USA projects and factory/process photography to fill the page while the Italia portfolio grows
- Page will represent only the **Quarra Italia brand** — no mention of collaborators (e.g., B&D)

## Why This Model

The decision emerged from a practical problem: Asymmetric doesn't have the domain expertise to write accurately about stone carving techniques, and placeholder or generic copy would undermine the studio's positioning as the best in Italy (and, per Fede, the world). At the same time, the Quarra Italia team needed structural guidance to know what to write and where.

This model is a clean division of labor that plays to each party's strengths. It's worth applying to other technically specialized clients where Asymmetric is building the site but the client owns the subject matter.

## Process Steps

1. Asymmetric sends staging site links to Federica, Valentina, and Luigi
2. Asymmetric delivers written content outlines for Artisanal and Architectural pages
3. Federica reviews outlines with Martin and Dan
4. Quarra Italia team drafts copy and returns to Asymmetric
5. Asymmetric reviews for fit and flow, places copy in staging
6. Iterative review as needed
