This PR fixes a few small, objective copy issues in the manifesto (docs/index.md). No wording/meaning changes.

Grammar

  • "GRC as a product": beyond what is expected from a compliance programs...a compliance program (article/number agreement).

Hyphenation of compound modifiers

  • "Commoditization of compliance": inherently open ended "tests"open-ended.
  • "Commoditization of compliance": a low cost audit providera low-cost audit provider — also matches the existing low-cost audits used two sentences earlier in the same section.

Apostrophe consistency

The document predominantly uses typographic (curly) apostrophes; these three used straight ones:

  • here's an examplehere’s an example
  • an organization's controlsan organization’s controls (the same paragraph already uses organization’s elsewhere)
  • it's essentialit’s essential

Happy to drop any of these if you'd prefer to keep the scope narrower.

- Correct number agreement: "a compliance programs" -> "a compliance program"
- Hyphenate compound modifiers: "open-ended" and "low-cost"
  ("low-cost" also matches the existing "low-cost audits" in the same section)
- Use curly apostrophes to match the rest of the document
  ("here's", "organization's", "it's")
