Changes

Boost, Scale, and Enterprise are now referred to as platform packages, not "add-ons". The word "add-on" was implying a bolt-on rather than the foundational nature of these packages — billing has already dropped the term, so the rest of the site should follow.

This PR sweeps the language across docs, handbook, blog, and a few page files. True add-ons (Group Analytics, Mobile Replay retention, CDP, etc.) are intentionally left alone, as are references to competitor "add-ons" (e.g. Mixpanel's Enterprise add-on in comparison blog posts).

Notable changes:

  • src/pages/baa.tsx — user-facing BAA copy and legal text now call Boost/Scale/Enterprise "packages"
  • src/pages/terms.tsx — Uptime SLA clause references "Enterprise package"
  • src/pages/startups/[...slug].tsx — startup credit FAQ uses "Boost package" / "platform package"
  • contents/docs/ — HIPAA, migration, access control, activity logs, SSO, dashboards, transformations docs all updated
  • contents/handbook/ — sales, onboarding, billing, and cross-selling handbook entries updated
  • Blog posts (posthog-vs-optimizely, posthog-vs-mixpanel, best-hipaa-compliant-ab-testing-tools, the-posthog-array-1-41-0) updated where they describe PostHog's own packages
  • contents/teams/platform-features/ — team objective/strategy doc references
  • Stale URL https://posthog.com/platform-addonshttps://posthog.com/platform-packages in slack-channels.md
  • Anchor links like /platform-packages#boost-add-on collapsed to /platform-packages (those anchors don't exist on the page)

Checklist

  • I've read the docs and/or content style guides.
  • Words are spelled using American English
  • Use relative URLs for internal links
  • I've checked the pages added or changed in the Vercel preview build
  • If I moved a page, I added a redirect in vercel.json

…rprise

Boost, Scale, and Enterprise are now referred to as platform packages, not
add-ons. The word "add-on" was implying a bolt-on rather than the foundational
nature of these packages, so billing has dropped the term and the rest of the
site should follow.

This sweep updates the language across docs, handbook, blog, and a few page
files. Other true add-ons (Group Analytics, Mobile Replay retention, CDP)
keep the "add-on" wording.
