Documentation metrics are available when you connect Notion, Confluence, or Google Drive.
Doc activities
Counts documentation activities, such as page edits and comments. By default, activities that Weave doesn’t rate for substantialness aren’t counted: page creates, archives, and restores, plus edits with no measurable content change (such as property-only edits and edits from the initial Notion or Google Drive sync). This metric shows overall documentation engagement across your team.Activity types
Use case
Track documentation contribution patterns, identify who is actively maintaining docs, and monitor trends over time.Doc words modified
Measures the total words added or removed in documentation. This is similar to lines of code but for docs, providing a volume-based measure of documentation contribution.Word counts are only available when Weave can compare content before and after a change: real-time updates from Notion and Google Drive, and Confluence version history. Comments always have word counts. Page activities from the initial Notion or Google Drive sync don’t have word counts because Weave can’t determine what the user actually changed.
Use case
Understand the volume of documentation work, compare contribution levels across team members, and track documentation output over time.Substantialness ratios
Weave classifies each page edit and comment by how substantial the change was, mostly using AI (edits that change one to five words count as minor without an AI review). These ratio metrics show what proportion of classified activities fall into each category. Activities that aren’t classified, such as page creates, aren’t included.Doc major ratio
Percentage of activities that are major changes:- Significant content additions
- New sections or major rewrites
- Architectural documentation changes
Doc medium ratio
Percentage of activities that are medium changes:- Meaningful additions or modifications
- Substantive clarifications
- Notable content updates
Doc minor ratio
Percentage of activities that are minor changes:- Typo fixes
- Formatting adjustments
- Trivial updates
Use case
Understand the nature of documentation work. A high minor ratio might indicate maintenance activity, while a high major ratio suggests significant documentation investment.Technical ratio
Percentage of documentation activities on technical documentation (code, APIs, architecture) versus non-technical content (processes, policies, general docs).Use case
Understand the balance between technical and non-technical documentation. Engineering teams may want to track whether technical docs are keeping pace with code changes.Grouping options
All documentation metrics support grouping by:- Account - Individual contributors
- Team - Aggregate by team
Users must be linked to Weave accounts via their doc platform connections to appear in account-level groupings.
Data sources
Documentation metrics aggregate activity from all connected doc platforms:
Activity from all platforms is combined into these unified metrics, giving you a complete picture of documentation work across your organization.
