Seventeen kinds of check
Wording, elements, links, response and metadata, so a rule can express the actual requirement rather than approximating it with a text search.
Content monitoring
Say what must be on your site, and prove it stays there
Write the requirement as a rule once. Auditwolf checks it against every page it captures, on the schedule you set, and keeps sealed evidence of the result whether it passed or failed.

The problem
Nobody notices the sentence that quietly came back
The wording that matters is spread across pages nobody reviews weekly. A template change reinstates an old claim, a release drops a disclosure from one layout, a withdrawn promotion survives on a page the migration missed. The first time anyone notices is usually when it is a problem.
A rule states the requirement once and is checked on every capture. It can require presence, and it can require absence, which is the half a manual review is worst at. Every result is kept with the evidence that produced it.

Rules that express the actual requirement
Seventeen kinds, grouped by the job rather than by the parameter, so a rule says what you mean.
Present and absent
Require the risk warning, and require that last year withdrawn claim is gone. Absence is as checkable as presence, and usually the harder half.
Deterministic and versioned
The same page and rule produce the same result every time. When an outcome changes, the page changed, not the checker.
Evidence with the excerpt
Every result records what was expected, what was found and the text around the match, so a failure points at the sentence that caused it.
Runs on a schedule
Attach a monitor and it runs on your plan cadence, from daily to hourly, with pause, resume and run-now whenever you need them.
Failures are sealed too
A failing check is captured and signed like any other observation, so you keep proof of the failure and of the fix that followed it.
Use cases
What teams actually check
The wording, links and headers that carry a consequence when they change without anyone noticing.
Required risk wording
Prove the disclosure was present on every page that needed it, on the dates it needed to be.
Withdrawn claims
Check that a promotion, price or claim you retired is absent everywhere, not just on the page you remembered.
Company and registration details
Company number, registered address and regulatory footer text present on every page that must carry them.
Terms and policy links
The link exists, and it points at the current document rather than a stale one.
Transport and headers
Pages served over HTTPS, returning the status you expect, with the security headers you require.
Metadata drift
Titles, descriptions, canonicals and robots directives staying as intended after a release.
The catalogue
Every kind of rule, by what it checks
Each kind takes its own parameters, and every result records what was expected, what was found and the text around the match.
Wording
Required text is present, forbidden text is absent, an exact phrase matches, or a pattern does. Case sensitivity is yours to set.
- text_contains
- text_not_contains
- exact_text
- regex
Elements
A CSS selector exists, the text inside it contains what it should, or a named asset is referenced by an img, script or link tag.
- element_exists
- element_text
- asset_present
Links
A link exists, or a link with particular text points where it is supposed to point.
- link_exists
- link_destination
Response
The page returns the status you expect, is served over HTTPS, and carries the headers you require, with values you specify.
- http_status
- https_required
- header_present
- header_equals
Metadata
Title, description, canonical URL and robots directive are what they should be, checked as values rather than as page text.
- meta_title
- meta_description
- meta_canonical
- meta_robots
Every result is sealed with the observation that produced it. See how the evidence works.
Pricing
One credit per successful page capture
Rules cost nothing extra: you are charged for the pages captured, however many rules run against them. Evidence integrity is identical on every plan, infrastructure failures on our side cost nothing, and there are no overage charges.
Questions
Before you integrate
The details that decide whether this fits, without reading the whole reference first.
How do I say what must be on the page?
Add rules to a site. Each one names a kind, what it is looking for and where, and Auditwolf evaluates every rule against every page it captures in an audit.
Are results consistent between runs?
Yes. Rules are deterministic and versioned, so the same page and the same rule produce the same result, and a change in outcome means the page changed rather than the checker did.
When a rule fails, do I get to see why?
Yes. A result carries what was expected, what was found, and an excerpt of the surrounding text, so a failure is something you can act on rather than a red light.
Can I check that something is absent?
Yes, and it is one of the more useful kinds. A rule can require that an old offer, a withdrawn claim or a discontinued product name no longer appears anywhere on the page.
Can rules run automatically?
Yes. Attach a monitor to a site and it runs on the cadence your plan allows, from daily to hourly, with pause, resume and run-now available at any time.
What happens when a rule starts failing?
The observation is captured and sealed like any other, so you get the evidence of the failure as well as the notification. Email and signed webhooks can carry it into wherever you already work.
Does a passing rule mean the page is legally compliant?
No. A rule proves that what you asked to be checked was or was not the case at the moment of capture. Auditwolf does not provide a legal opinion.
