- Explanations build understanding

**3. Sprint-Aligned Timeline**

- Each sprint has clear doc deliverables
- Documentation drives feature adoption
- Parallel work enables everything

**4. Real Code Examples**

- All examples must be copy-paste runnable
- All code must be tested
- All docs must have working samples

**5. Continuous Validation**

- Monthly review of what works
- Iterate based on support tickets
- Measure doc impact on adoption
