Publishing Gate
Scan, flag conflicts, approve, then publish.
- What it is
- A scan that flags when docs, site and offers disagree — then you approve publish.
- Typically gives back
- ~3 h/week of “who published this?”
- Replaces
- Silent drift and no rollback story.
What it costs you without this
Calm arithmetic, not fear. Methodology.
Website, price list and repo quietly disagree. The customer sees the wrong number.
Lab measurement
Lab scan pattern: eight sources checked in one pass; conflicts flagged before production.
Lab measurement
No trail of who approved a publish — the next dispute has no evidence.
Illustrative example
| Week | Month | At €40/h |
|---|---|---|
| 3 h | 12 h | €480/mo |
3 h/week × €40/h × 4 weeks
Lab pattern — 3 h/week ≈ €480/month at €40/h, plus fewer mystery publishes. Your scan gives the real numbers.
A firm like this
Atelier Hout & Beeld
7-person studio whose website, docs and offers quietly disagree
Without the system
- The PDF offer still shows last year’s price.
- The site was updated on a Friday by whoever had the password.
- Rollback is “we think it was this file”.
With the system
- A scan lists conflicts before anything goes live.
- Publish waits for a named approval.
- A log exists. A rollback path exists.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Mystery publishes | Common | Named trail |
| Hours/week on firefights | ~3 h | Conflicts first |
| €/month at €40/h | €480 | Scan gives your number |

What is in the system
Only what we can point to. Missing pieces stay off this page.
Drift scan
Compares the sources that are allowed to go live.
You see: A list of mismatches — not a surprise on the site.
Conflict flags
Disagreements are explicit before publish.
You see: Red items. You choose.
Approval trail
Who approved what, and when.
You see: A log you can show.
Read-only assistant
Explains the conflict in plain language. Does not publish.
You see: “These two files disagree” — then you click.
Publish gate
Nothing live without the click.
You see: Pending publish.
Rollback path
A change that fails can be reversed.
You see: Previous version, on purpose.
Target: zero unresolved conflicts
Lab governance target: conflicts found before ship.
You see: A number that is allowed to stay at zero.
How it works
- 1. Scan the sources that are allowed to go live.
- 2. Flag conflicts before publish.
- 3. You approve.
- 4. Publish with a log.
In the build
- Drift scan across the sources you name
- Conflict flags before production
- Named approval trail
- Read-only explanation of the mismatch
- Publish only after a click
- Rollback path
- Documentation, scans, handover
- Your repository from day one
Good to know
No. Live social cadence stays off until you unlock it in writing.
If one person owns one Word file and never publishes a site, a gate is overhead. We will say so.
No. That is the point. The trail is yours; the code is in your repo.

Start with the scan
90 minutes. Written report is yours. Then a fixed price — or a clear no.
