Progressive essay delivery will only work if the student is highly learned and asking for help in writing their dissertation or master thesis research work.
I disagree. While I don't consider it to be a "program," I've allowed undergraduates to order one (or several) sections at a time of a longer project, especially if it's my first project for them. Sometimes, clients pay in sections simply for budget-related reasons.
It does not work for high school and college students.
I disagree. I've also had high school customers (and/or their parents) pay for one section (or weekly chapter) at a time.
...the advanced academic level student knows exactly what he wants and how he wants to get the work done.
Only relatively rarely, in my experience. Much more often, the academically-advanced student has no idea how to write a thesis or dissertation and relies mainly on the thesis or dissertation instruction packet distributed by their particular department at their particular institution. Other times, they simply tell me to "just do it the way this is supposed to be done because I've never done this before and all they told us was that part of our research includes how to write a good thesis..."
The write will be using the blueprint the student will be providing for the completion of the work.
If by "blueprint," you mean the guidance referenced immediately above, that's probably the case more often than not. But if you mean some meticulous outline and structural approach laid out by the student directing my work on the project, that's what I referred to immediately above as something that happens only relatively rarely.
After each phase of research is completed the student can actually review the work, make comments, and expect to get the revisions done per chapter.
Correction: Expect to get any revisions you want done
as paid revisions, unless it's something that the writer actually did wrong, such as by accidentally ignoring some element of the specs, writing about the wrong topic, using the wrong (or wrong types of) sources, etc. If it's something subjective, such as the client saying: "It's good, but I think maybe I'd like the first idea to be a little less theoretical and the second point to focus more on the historical context," that's never a free revision (unless the specs said: "Please don't discuss theory in section 1 and please discuss historical context immediately afterwards.") That's a totally legit request if you ask for that in your order; and if the writer blows it, that's a free revision. But anytime the same request comes only after the fact as editorial criticism, that's a paid edit.
The idea is to catch the writer's mistakes so that early correction can be done.
I disagree that it's writers' "mistakes" most often at issue in revision requests when it comes to any of these long thesis and dissertation projects that you consider suitable for sectional ordering and completion. As I mentioned, any outright objective mistakes of the writer are free fixes. However, the vast majority of revision requests for these longer, higher-level projects don't come (directly) from the client, at all. To the client, it almost always looks fine and he simply chooses to
use the work in whatever way that particular client chooses to define the concept of "using" these projects.
The vast majority of revisions requested on these projects actually come
through the client, but they exclusively reflect the demands of the project adviser, tutor, or advisory board. They're usually strictly subjective criticism that they view as a necessary part of the thesis or dissertation "process" and those revisions as part of their "role" to demand. There's no such thing (at least in the UK and most of the rest of Europe and Asia), as a PhD dissertation that gets submitted in whole (once) and then simply accepted as a qualifying submission. It usually goes a chapter at a time with revision demands on each submission; and it's not uncommon at all for different reviewers (where there are more than one on the project) to issue different revision demands and for those demands to directly contradict another reviewer's demands (or instructions), or to request to undo one another's previous demands. It should be obvious that all of that is extra paid work for the writer and not "included" in the original project price. In the US, that "process" isn't usually as rigorous; outside of the US, it can sometimes verge on the ridiculous, sometimes doubling the total cost of the project through no fault of the writer, whatsoever. Of course, the candidate always retains the option of revising the work himself if the only problem is that the writer followed the client's instructions and specifications perfectly, but it just turns out that the reviewers don't really agree with those instructions and specifications (or with choices given by the client to writer). Any reliable writer will be happy to stick with it even to satisfy the worst of the worst advisors, as long as the client understands that having been assigned to a super-difficult advisor who also probably kicks cats on his walk home from campus is the client's problem, not the writer's. Frankly, this type of work is more difficult and tedious than "straight" writing, but we understand that it has to be done and we're not going to abandon a client mid-way through the "process" or charge more for the revisions than the amount of work they fairly represent; but please don't get the idea that revisions to satisfy thesis or dissertation reviewers are included in the price of the project (unless that's something discussed and agreed upon in advance).
