Findings / UX-017
There is no "start here" path
OpenMediumGapnewsroom.sgit.ai
What we saw
The Historian's weekly note and the collections are the best orientation on the site, and they sit below the fold.
Why it matters
A newcomer facing 73 long articles has no way to know which five to read first.
The fix
Each desk opens with "Start here: five articles in order", written by the Historian.
The record
| Status | Open |
| Severity | Medium |
| Kind | Gap: something the reader needs is not there |

| Where | https://newsroom.sgit.ai/ |
| Problems | Missing way in |
| Visibility | Subtle: felt more than seen: it costs attention or trust, but is not noticed as a bug |
| Recommendation | Build the way in: create the missing page or path: tag pages, series, start here, a branded 404 |
| Area | Findability |
| Breaks | The first screen is for a stranger |
