What changed in NoticeKit.
A public record of product, content, and operational updates while the product is still static-first.
AI procurement routing and FAQ upgrade
- Expanded the AI vendor disclosure packet page with procurement-focused FAQ content and matching structured data so the page is clearer to both reviewers and search crawlers.
- Linked the disclosure packet guide from pricing, start-here, and the AI stack template page so the AI procurement path no longer depends only on the homepage, blog index, and free-tools hub.
- Added watcher coverage for the new AI procurement source tags so any follow-through from those entry points stays attributable from the first inbound.
AI disclosure packet template download
- Added a new downloadable AI vendor disclosure packet template so founders can package stack facts, change scope, notice logic, proof links, and reviewer questions in one operational handoff artifact.
- Upgraded the AI disclosure packet guide to point at the new template first, alongside the sample AI stack CSV and the existing teardown and pricing follow-through paths.
- Threaded the template into the free-tools downloads hub so the AI procurement lane now has a reusable take-away asset instead of prose alone.
AI-stack notice template expansion
- Published a new AI SaaS subprocessor notice template page for model, hosting, analytics, billing, and database vendor changes so founders can move from the public vendor list into customer-facing notice copy faster.
- Linked the new guide from the homepage, blog index, free-tools hub, and the existing AI stack page so the AI-founder wedge now covers both the public page and the outbound notice step.
- Added source-tag coverage for the new AI notice CTAs so teardown, pricing, generator, and deadline-calculator follow-through stays attributable from the first inbound.
Partner-forwardable founder handoff
- Published a new founder handoff preview page that advisors can forward before asking for partner access, client delivery, or white-label use.
- Bundled the sample teardown, kit preview, and review brief builder into one founder-safe path so the partner follow-up can lead with a concrete asset instead of a generic preview.
- Updated the partner preview and outreach tooling so tomorrow's partner follow-up can test the new handoff asset directly.
Buyer path guide
- Published a new start-here page that helps visitors choose between free async teardown, Starter, Pro, concierge audit, and partner access in under a minute.
- Linked the guide from the homepage, pricing page, and blog index so the buying decision is easier to reach from the main conversion flow.

Buyer-facing kit preview page
- Published a new kit preview page that exposes the Starter and Pro artifact manifests, one safe sample CSV, and the early-access fulfillment flow.
- Linked the preview from the homepage, pricing page, and blog index so buyers can inspect the package shape before checkout instead of relying on abstract copy.

Page-change monitoring comparison page

Sample teardown page
- Published a new sample teardown page that shows the exact 3-bullet async deliverable shape before a founder or advisor submits a request.
- Linked the sample from the homepage, pricing page, free teardown page, partner preview, and blog index so the sales motion has a concrete artifact instead of only abstract promises.

Vendor-change review packet guide

Local notice generator
- Published a dedicated browser-only generator that drafts subprocessor notice copy, calculates the objection deadline, and exports a starter CSV row and internal checklist.
- Linked the generator from the homepage, pricing page, self-audit, blog, and core navigation so buyers can use the product before they are asked to buy a kit.
- Added the new page to the sitemap and shifted product messaging toward hands-on local generation instead of a homepage preview alone.
Timeline template guide
- Published a new subprocessor notice timeline template so teams can work backwards from the effective date and keep the notice date, objection deadline, and closeout steps aligned.

Notice workflow vs trust center comparison
- Published a new comparison guide to help small SaaS teams decide when a lightweight subprocessor notice workflow is enough and when a broader trust center starts to make sense.

Deadline calculator page
