Summary of Issues Found:

I identified 4 issues in the new documentation:

1. Spelling/Grammar (line 96): Verb conjugation error - "process" should be "processes"
2. Spelling/Grammar (line 120): Inconsistent parallel structure in the bullet list
3. Spelling/Grammar (line 149): Misplaced word "based" in sentence
4. Maintainability (line 140): Duplicate step numbering - two steps numbered as "5"

The documentation is well-structured with proper frontmatter, correct use of shortcodes, and appropriate internal links. The content is clear and comprehensive, covering all major aspects of the Telegraf Controller architecture.
