The Problem
Quote: “Policy creation involves endless email chains, conflicting document versions, and confusion about who approved what. When multiple stakeholders contribute to policies...version control becomes critical. If you've ever had to reconcile conflicting edits or wondered which version legal actually approved, you're experiencing collaboration chaos.”
