Change discovery
How does the team find every manual, reusable block, or procedure affected by a changed product fact?
Documentation Drift Scan
How far has your documentation drifted from your product?
In a practitioner-led working session, we trace the footprint of one change with your team: which manuals and work instructions it reaches, how the update is reviewed and approved, and what comes back from the people doing the work. Together we pick the first improvement to test.
Free, 30 minutes to start. No files needed.
Where drift appears
Look across the path from engineering source to work performed
Drift starts with the footprint of a change: one engineering change reaches manual sections, work instructions, parts lists and training. It shows up as slow updates, unclear approvals, stale copies in use, and shop-floor feedback that never reaches the documentation team. The session looks at the parts your chosen example makes visible.
Review and release
Can reviewers see what changed, trace its source, resolve comments, and identify the approved document revision?
Delivery and feedback
How does approved content reach users, and what execution, deviation, or field evidence returns to the documentation team?
How the session works
A working review grounded in evidence your team recognizes
The useful work happens with the people who know the current process, using examples that show where it breaks.
- Define the questionChoose one concern: change latency, revision control, expert review, delivery, or execution feedback.
- Select an examplePick one document, instruction, product change, or completed execution record.
- Agree the scopeConfirm who joins, what evidence is reviewed, and whether any written follow-up is expected.
- Work through the evidenceMap the current handoffs, gaps, dependencies, and verification points in a practitioner-led session.
- Choose the next testPrioritize a bounded workflow or pilot whose result your team can measure.
Bring a real example
Small evidence sets produce more useful conversations
You do not need to prepare a complete repository export. One recently changed item and the documentation trail around it can expose the current discovery, review, delivery, and feedback path.
Agree the deliverable first
The session can end with a findings discussion and a prioritized next test. If your team needs a written summary or other deliverable, agree its scope before the review.
- A recent change: the source, identifier, and expected documentation impact.
- A current document: a manual, module, PDF, or work instruction used in the process.
- The approval path: who drafts, comments, resolves, endorses, and approves today.
- Delivery evidence: how readers or operators receive the approved content.
- Feedback evidence: a deviation, note, field report, execution record, or correction request.
What you get
A free working session on one real change
We trace the footprint of one change with your team, from the engineering source to the work performed, and end with a findings discussion and a prioritized next test.
Free, 30 minutes to start
The first working session costs nothing. Bring the people who know the process today.
No files needed
Bring a real change if you can share it, or we use a public example.
NDA on request
Ask for an NDA before you share anything about your product or documents.

Documentation Drift Scan FAQ
Is the Documentation Drift Scan automated?
No. It is a practitioner-led working session with your team, built on the examples you choose to share.
What should we bring to the session?
Useful examples include a recent engineering change, a technical document or work instruction, the associated approval path, and any execution or field feedback that shows how updates are handled today. No files are needed: if you cannot share a real example, we use a public one.
What does it cost, and can we sign an NDA?
It is free and starts with a 30-minute working session. We sign an NDA on request.
