Who Should Read What
Operations reading guide
This page helps different internal audiences find the right entry point into the operations handbook. Use it when someone asks, "Which pages should I actually read?" or when you want to route stakeholders to the smallest useful set of docs.
Use this page to
- route readers quickly by role or function
- reduce over-reading and under-reading
- prepare the right pre-reads for different conversations

Decision
Simple reading rule
Start with one audience pack or one meeting packet, not the whole section at once. The handbook is designed to help people enter through the smallest useful surface, then dive deeper only when needed.
