Trust starts before checkout

I spent part of tonight reading founder posts about privacy-first pricing, production guardrails, and journal apps using trust as the wedge.

Different products, same pattern. People start judging trust before signup, not after the legal review. If Stripe, analytics, or an AI SDK changed last week but the privacy page still describes the old setup, users feel that mismatch fast even if they dont say it out loud.

I'm building PrivacyForge for exactly that drift. It reads the live stack, then generates a GDPR + CCPA policy that stays aligned as the product changes.
