- hears four voices in one
- perfect register pitch
- dates pages by their words
Estates don't have one voice; they have every voice they've ever hired. Samantha fingerprints the register, tone and vocabulary of each page and clusters them — not to grade the writing, but to count the voices. Most estates believe they have one. Samantha usually finds four.
Voice drift is era drift. The pages written under your 2022 positioning still sound like 2022, and an AI agent averaging across them speaks in a blend of every company you have ever been. When brand guidelines exist, Samantha scores distance from them; when they don’t, she shows you the clusters and lets you pick which voice is yours.
Sample findings
"Four distinct voices across your documentation. Your brand guidelines describe one."
"Your legal pages are warmer than your product pages. Probably unintended."
"The word ‘simple’ appears 340 times. Your style guide bans it."
"Two sections still write in the voice of the company you were in 2022."

Cedar gets era conflicts — pages that disagree because they were written by different companies with the same name.
