Key Takeaways
- Docs vs change diff with severity ranks.
- Actionable fix checklist — not silent auto-edits.
- Honesty: decision-support drafts — not an engagement guarantee.
Docs first. Change log next.
Decision-support drift ranks — not a certified API audit.
PaperDrift — definition
PaperDrift compares published docs (or an OpenAPI excerpt) against a changelog/PR summary and returns a severity-ranked drift report so API teams fix stale pages before customers or coding agents trust a lie.
What this is NOT
- Not a social network, ad network, or engagement guarantee.
- Not a promise of reach, followers, or sales.
- Not a substitute for your brand review before you post.
Controller / Processor — When packs mention privacy roles, we use GDPR Art.4 labels: Controller and Processor (decision-support only).
Code shipped. Docs still lie.
Stale paths
Endpoints move; published docs keep yesterday's routes.
Tribal knowledge
Only one engineer knows which README is wrong.
Agent blind trust
Coding agents copy dead examples into production clients.
Late tickets
Customers file bugs that were really docs drift.

Your questions, answered
What does PaperDrift draft?
Five platform-aware ranked findings — decision-support drafts, not an engagement guarantee.
Does this guarantee engagement?
No. Drift reports are decision-support. You still review findings before editing docs.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Self-serve plans cancel anytime; access continues until period end.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Start with email signup or Demo mode in the studio, then upgrade when ready.
Do I need my own ChatGPT / OpenAI subscription?
No for Free/Pro. AI runs are included in your plan (fair use) via our platform key. Enterprise can optionally bring your own OpenAI key (BYOK) — configure it at /settings (key stays server-side only).
What is Fair Use / what if I hit the AI limit?
Free includes 3 AI drafts/day and 15/month. Pro includes 40/day and 300/month. At the fair-use limit, Studio returns a labelled demo until reset — or use Enterprise BYOK for heavier volume.
Is checkout secure?
Payments are processed by Waffo Pancake (merchant of record).
What happens after I pay?
You receive access confirmation; fulfillment is tracked via webhook + order logs.
