When your docs
disagree, settle it.

Paste or upload your policies, FAQs, SOPs and help-centre articles. Knowledge Conflict lines up every statement that contradicts another — different prices, time limits, percentages or dates, allowed in one place and forbidden in another, old versions still live — with both quotes side by side. Free, and nothing leaves this browser.

Explainable rules, both quotes in view.

Each source is split into statements. Two statements from different sources that share the same subject are compared: a different price, duration, business-day range, percentage or date is a value mismatch; "can" against "cannot" is an allowed-vs-not-allowed conflict. Documents with the same title and different dates are flagged as stale versions, and near-identical passages as copy drift. Every flag shows the rule that fired.

Practice on fiction

Sample: an outfitter's help centre.

Six fictional sources — returns policy, FAQ, shipping SOP, delivery article and two warranty versions — disagree on return windows, free-shipping thresholds, sale items, gift cards, member discounts and warranty length.

Values and modals

Prices, durations, business-day ranges, percentages and dates that differ for the same subject, and allowed vs not-allowed statements.

⟲

Stale and duplicate

Older versions of the same document and near-identical passages copied between sources — the newer dated source is suggested as the winner.

What this is, and isn't. A free, rule-based conflict finder that stays in your browser. It spots differing values, opposite statements, old versions and copy drift; it does not decide which policy is legally right. To organise the knowledge itself see KnowledgeOS, to trace claims to sources Research Intelligence, to weigh options Decision Matrix, to check policy links on your site Trust & Policy Link Inventory, and for the broader lab ARQS Software.
