 		 I believe in the holistic approach:  I consider the client's audience and how they are trying to persuade the audience to accept the particular claim.  Then I dig in to see if what their writing matches to their intent, and determine if they are using their credentials, and experience to their full effectiveness.  Then I work on the sentence- level issues to make sure the organization flows, and each paragraph builds upon the previous one.
