syncTrace vs. writing release notes by hand
Hand-written release notes are accurate the day you write them and stale the day after. Here's how an automated change-intelligence layer compares to doing it manually.
| syncTrace | By hand | |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes it | Generated from the PR on merge | An engineer, after the fact |
| Audience | Plain language for PMs, support, and QA | Whatever the author had time for |
| Doc impact | Flags likely-stale docs automatically | Usually forgotten |
| Consistency | Every routed merge, every time | When someone remembers |
| Cost | Lean model inputs; unrouted merges ignored | Recurring engineer time |
