The cost of bad docs

Bad documentation is asilent revenue killer

Developers judge your product by your docs. When documentation fails, adoption drops, support costs spike, and AI agents break. Most teams don't catch it until it's too late.

Developers leave before their first API call

67% of developers abandon a product within minutes if the docs are unclear. No getting started guide means no adoption.

AI agents hallucinate on bad docs

RAG pipelines and AI coding assistants depend on your documentation. Inconsistent structure and vague references produce garbage outputs.

Support tickets replace self service

Every missing error doc, every outdated code sample, every undocumented edge case becomes a support ticket your team has to answer manually.

Broken code samples destroy trust

Developers copy paste your examples. When they don't work, trust evaporates — and they tell their team to use the competitor.

API references that say nothing

Vague parameter descriptions and missing authentication docs lead to wrong integrations, wasted time, and frustrated developers.

Reviews catch bugs, not bad docs

Code review tools flag broken logic. Nobody flags the docs that explain it. Documentation quality has no automated safety net — until now.

How it works

Three steps to better documentation

Install once. Every PR with documentation changes gets reviewed automatically.

1

Install the GitHub App

One click to add Fowel to your repository. No configuration files, no CI changes, no setup scripts.

2

Open a pull request

Push documentation changes to any branch. Fowel detects markdown, MDX, and other doc files automatically.

3

Get a detailed review

Fowel posts inline comments and a summary review on your PR, based on expert human writers' knowledge, in seconds.

What gets reviewed

A complete documentation audit, every time

Twenty factors of documentation quality, checked automatically on every pull request. Powered by a deep understanding of what makes developer docs actually useful.

Content Accuracy

Catches outdated information, incorrect procedures, and contradictions — the kind of issues that erode developer trust.

Developer Journey

Evaluates onboarding flow and time to first success so new users don't drop off before making their first API call.

Structure & Information Architecture

Checks navigation, naming conventions, and cross linking so developers find what they need without guessing.

Code Samples

Validates runnability, error handling, and syntax correctness — because broken examples are the fastest way to lose trust.

Clarity & Style

Identifies jargon, ambiguous language, and inconsistent depth that make documentation harder to follow than it should be.

Completeness

Ensures tutorials, how to guides, reference material, and concept docs all exist and connect together coherently.

Pricing

Pay for documentation reviews, not repository seats

Every plan supports unlimited repositories. Review costs scale with PR size so tiny README changes stay cheap while large doc overhauls consume more credits.
