 **Why Commit Check?**
 
+The table below compares common approaches to commit policy enforcement.
+``commitlint`` is a specialized commit-message linter. Custom Git hooks and
+the ``pre-commit`` framework are integration mechanisms, so the last column
+reflects a DIY approach rather than built-in product features.

+For ``commitlint``, organization-level shared config is typically delivered via
+shareable config packages or local files. ``DIY`` means you can implement a
+capability with custom Git hooks or ``pre-commit`` scripts, but it is not
+provided as a turnkey policy layer.
