StyleLock: Brand Style Guide Enforcement Engine

A lightweight plugin suite (Word, Google Docs, Slack) that enforces brand-specific style rules in real-time as writers type. It catches capitalization, hyphenation, and formatting inconsistencies for branded terms (e.g., 'Start Your Own Business project' vs 'start your own business Project') and suggests corrections inline, with a centralized admin dashboard where brand teams define and update rules without code.

Original Problem

Technical writers and content creators struggle with inconsistent style guide enforcement across documents

Writers, editors, and content teams waste significant time debating capitalization, hyphenation, and formatting rules for branded terms and project names. Without automated style enforcement tools, teams produce inconsistent documentation that damages brand credibility and requires multiple review cycles. Current solutions rely on manual checking or generic style guides that don't capture brand-specific rules.
