Most comparison pages fail before team notices.

Not from single big error. From small, cumulative drift: old payout assumptions, outdated onboarding friction, shifted geo availability, changed support quality, stale verdict framing.

This creates comparison drift: widening gap between what page claims and what users now experience.

If freshness SLA tells you when to re-check claims, drift budget tells you how much mismatch page can carry before it becomes liability.

In GPT platform publishing, this is difference between durable authority and slow trust collapse.

Most comparison pages fail same way: not wrong on publish day, wrong 60 days later.

In GPT platform publishing, this failure costs twice: search trust drops and conversion quality drops.

Fix is not "update sometimes." Fix is Freshness SLA — explicit service-level agreement for how fast each claim must be re-verified.

This guide gives practical Freshness SLA system for small expert teams publishing GPT platform comparisons.
