Is this just a dataset of old and new policy documents?

Document comparison captures wording changes, while operational examples reveal whether an agent understands which decisions and obligations must change.

**Is this just a dataset of old and new policy documents?**

No. Comparing documents can establish that a rule changed, but it does not establish what a business should do next. A useful workflow example connects the difference in wording to decisions, pending obligations and responsibility for acting.

**What makes that distinction visible?**

In professional services, an engagement acceptance policy may introduce a second approval for a particular conflict category. An editorial correction to the same document may change a heading without changing any obligation. Both produce a new document version, but only one requires operational intervention.

Generated material could include both kinds of revision. Customers would then need to distinguish a substantive rule change from a publication change before deciding whether to reopen an engagement record.

**Why does a reseller need this distinction?**

It makes the intended use clearer in a catalogue description. A document comparison product can reward accurate descriptions of textual differences. A propagation product should also test whether those differences create actionable obligations. Treating every publication as a reason to disrupt work teaches excessive intervention; treating every revision as editorial teaches the opposite failure.

Describe the product by the operational reasoning it exercises, so customers do not mistake it for a document comparison collection.
