Customer language becomes useful copy only when its context, permission and evidence status remain attached.
This workflow turns approved interviews into a searchable voice-of-customer bank without converting every phrase into a testimonial or market-wide claim.
The language card
| Field | Record |
|---|---|
| Exact phrase | Checked wording and timestamp |
| Context | Question, task and customer situation |
| Segment | Relevant audience category |
| Permission | Internal research, anonymous quote, named testimonial or other use |
| Evidence status | Anecdote, repeated theme or supported claim |
| Expiry | Review or permission date |
Keep five things separate
- Customer words: what one person said.
- Insight: interpretation across evidence.
- Message: creative expression.
- Claim: factual proposition requiring substantiation.
- Testimonial: authorised public endorsement.
The CLEAR brief
- C — Customer: audience and situation.
- L — Loss: problem and consequence.
- E — Evidence: product facts and proof.
- A — Action: desired response.
- R — Rules: tone, claims, exclusions and approver.
Interview-to-copy workflow
- Define research question and intended use.

- Ask about recent real experiences.
- Correct transcript wording and context.

- Flag every direct and implied factual claim.
- Verify evidence and testimonial permission.
- Complete client, brand and legal approval.
Do not smooth quotes silently
Editing for length must preserve meaning. Do not invent more polished wording and place it inside quotation marks. Keep the source audio until the approved quotation is confirmed.
Originality and rights
Use interviews as research, not as permission to reproduce complete stories or third-party creative work. Track source material and client ownership.
