Trusted
Federal guidance shifts on a Tuesday and nobody sends your web team a memo. The pages quoting last year's rule go on answering with total confidence, and students make real decisions on what they read there. Standing behind every word on your site starts with knowing the moment a change reaches it.

Four Ways an Answer Goes Wrong
Accuracy is not one problem. It is four, and each one fails differently, which is why a single proofread never catches them all.
Terminology
01The Words Changed
A term gets renamed federally and the old word lives on across dozens of pages. Students search the new one, find nothing, and assume the information does not exist.
Regulation
02The Rule Changed
Requirements get repealed and limits get raised. The page keeps quoting the old version, and it reads as authoritative because it sits on your domain.
Conflict
03Your Own Pages Disagree
Financial aid says one deadline, the registrar says another. Nobody is wrong on purpose. Nobody has ever seen those pages side by side.
Scale
04The Site Contradicts Itself
A process explained four ways across four departments is a pattern, not a typo. Invisible page by page, obvious the moment something reads all of them at once.
Compliance Review
Every Finding Quotes Your Own Page
Nothing in the reporting is a judgment call you have to defend upward without proof. You get the exact sentence, the exact page, the guidance behind it, and what to do about it, ranked so your team works the ones that change a student's decision first.

Renamed Term Still in Use
Fix FirstWhat to Do: Replace with Student Aid Index. Four of the six pages explain the old formula, so the surrounding paragraph needs rewriting rather than a find and replace.
Repealed Requirement Posted as a Barrier
Fix FirstWhat to Do: This requirement was removed by the FAFSA Simplification Act. A student who reads this and believes they are ineligible never applies and never learns otherwise.
Discontinued Program Listed as Available
Worth a LookWhat to Check: New Perkins loans ended in 2017. Your repayment content is still correct; a list of aid you currently offer is not.
Cross-Page Conflicts
One Question, Four Different Answers
This is the finding nobody else produces, because catching it requires reading every page at once and holding them against each other. A student asking a single question gets four confident answers from one institution.
"When is the priority deadline for fall aid?"
Root Cause: The deadline moved and three of the four pages were never told. Each office owns its own content, and nothing has ever compared them.
Recommended Fix: Establish financial aid as the source of truth for this date, correct the other three, and add it to your Playbook so future scans flag any page that states it differently.
Regulation Corner
Every Change, Mapped to Your Pages
We monitor NASFAA, StudentAid.gov, FSA Partner Connect, Dear Colleague Letters, FERPA guidance, and state residency rules, then cross-check each update against what your site actually says. An update arrives as a named list of your pages rather than a bulletin somebody has to interpret and route.
OBBBA Loan Limits: New Parent PLUS Caps
Action NeededNew annual and aggregate Parent PLUS caps apply to loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2026. Any page stating Parent PLUS is limited only by cost of attendance now needs the per-dependent caps instead.
Affected Pages: Types of Aid, Parent Loans, Cost of Attendance, Policies and Guidelines for Students
ADA Title II Web Rule: WCAG 2.1 AA
Plan NowPublic institutions must meet WCAG 2.1 AA across web content and mobile apps. Your Accessibility scan already reports against this standard, so the gap is measurable today.
Curious what Regulation Corner would flag on your site this morning?
Test Drive Regulation CornerAccuracy Is Not a Project
A content audit tells you what was wrong the month somebody looked. Guidance keeps moving, offices keep publishing, and pages keep drifting apart from each other. The only version of accurate that holds is the one being checked continuously.
How the Work Happens
We Watch the Sources
Federal and state guidance monitored continuously, not gathered up the week before an audit.
We Match It to You
Each change gets cross-checked against your content, and every page runs against every other page to surface the conflicts inside your own site.
You Correct With Confidence
Your office approves the new language, the scan confirms every affected page carries it, and the decision becomes a Playbook rule so it holds next year.
