scri8e vs a Company Wiki: Nothing New to Keep Up to Date.
A wiki is only as good as the last person who updated it, and keeping it current is nobody’s actual job. scri8e doesn’t ask anyone to write anything new. It reads what your team already wrote, and tells you when it has gone out of date.
- To maintain
- Nothing new
- Reads
- Slack, Google Drive, Notion
- Old pages
- Flagged, not hidden
What’s our refund window now?
14 days. The wiki page still says 30, but it was last edited over a year ago, and the change to 14 days was agreed in the ops channel and written into the billing doc.
Keep the Wiki. Stop Relying on It Alone.
Teams treat “only one person knows” as a documentation problem, write a wiki, and a few months later stop trusting it. The knowledge was never missing. Knowing which version is current was.
A wiki is a good fit for
- Canonical documents someone owns and reviews on purpose
- Onboarding guides, handbooks and policies people should read end to end
- Teams with a real habit of writing things down and updating them
scri8e is a good fit for
- Everything that was decided in Slack and never made it into the wiki
- Telling you when the wiki page you found is older than the decision that replaced it
- Answering from your Notion wiki, Drive and Slack together. Other wiki tools, such as Confluence, aren’t connected today.
What to Check Before You Choose
Ask these of any knowledge tool, a wiki included. These are our answers.
Who keeps it current?
Nobody has to. It re-reads Slack, Drive and Notion every day.
What happens to an old page?
It still shows up, with a warning. Sometimes the old page is still right, so hiding it would be worse.
Can a person still vouch for the official answer?
Yes. Anyone can verify an answer, and it stops being served as verified when a source changes.
Does anything have to be written for it?
No. It can only read what exists, but far more is written down than people think.
Stop Maintaining. Start Asking.
