Governance and authoring gates

In short

Acrolinx governs how you say something. Knowledge Company governs whether the thing is true. A terminologically flawless sentence containing last year's price passes every Acrolinx gate.

The four coordinates

Every company in this landscape can be located by four questions. Applied consistently, the apparent crowding resolves into something much narrower.

What they do

Acrolinx analyses content in real time for clarity, consistency, terminology, tone and regulatory language, applying quality gates that block off-brand or non-compliant content from publishing.

For large content organisations enforcing a house style at scale, it is a mature and effective tool.

How we differ

Acrolinx governs how you say things. It has no mechanism for whether the thing you said is true.

A perfectly on-brand, terminologically flawless, fully compliant sentence containing last year's price sails through every gate it has. The two checks are orthogonal — style conformance and factual currency are different questions about the same sentence.

Which one you want

Choose them if

Your problem is consistency of language, terminology and tone across a large content organisation.

Choose Knowledge Company if

Your problem is that well-written, on-brand content contains facts that have since changed.
