Use Case
Knowledge that maintains itself
Automatically detect stale docs, surface conflicting information, and keep your knowledge base healthy without manual effort.
Read-only accessEU hostedEncrypted in transit & at rest
Staleness detection
Docs that haven't been updated in 90 days get flagged. Owners get notified. Knowledge stays fresh.
Conflict detection
When two documents say different things about the same topic, Stacklink surfaces the conflict for resolution.
Coverage mapping
See which topics are well-documented and which have gaps. Prioritize what to write next based on actual team needs.
“Most enterprise knowledge bases are 40% outdated within 6 months. Stacklink keeps yours evergreen.”
Capabilities
How it works for knowledge management
01
Knowledge health dashboard
A real-time score for your documentation quality. Track freshness, coverage, and consistency across all connected sources.
02
Automated owner assignment
Every document gets mapped to an owner based on authorship patterns. When docs go stale, the right person gets notified.
03
Duplicate detection
Three wikis, two runbooks, one outdated FAQ — all covering the same topic. Stacklink finds duplicates so you can consolidate.
04
Verification workflows
Subject-matter experts can mark content as "verified." Verified content ranks higher in search and displays a trust badge.
05
Archival recommendations
Old project pages, deprecated API docs, retired product features — Stacklink suggests what to archive so your knowledge base stays lean.
Beyond the watch · how the loop keeps knowledge fresh
Watchers don’t just watch your PRs — they keep the knowledge base honest.
Pillars above describe the “what.” This is the “how it runs in your tenant”: the lifecycle of a single watcher, three you’d actually declare on day one, and what the resulting freshness picture looks like at 04:12 on a Tuesday.
01 · lifecycle
Five states. One watcher token traversing them.
Declare in plain English. The runner takes over: tick, evaluate, page or sleep, retire on success or back off on retryable failure. The pip on each card is the live state — every transition writes an audit record.

02 · in the wild
Three watchers you’d declare on day one.
Same runner, three jobs that pay rent inside a knowledge organisation: a release-readiness page, a staleness sweep over still-cited docs, and a compliance-window heads-up. Trigger · condition · sink · last fired — the whole shape on one card.

03 · the picture they paint
Freshness, ownership, coverage — in one strip.
The watchers don’t just send pages; their results land in a small health view. Three top-line stats, then a single coverage bar segmented by team. Warnings are warnings; muted segments have no owner yet.

Triggers in. Sinks out. No glue code required.
The watcher contract is two columns: how it wakes up, where it pages. Mix and match per loop — cron in, ticket comment out; webhook in, channel out. Whatever already exists in your stack is fair game.

Loops are first-class in Stacklink. They share the audit chain with every other turn, survive restarts, and clean themselves up.
