[Findings](/findings/index.md) / UX-023

# There is no page that says why the publication exists

Open · medium severity · gap · newsroom.sgit.ai

## What we saw

The agenda (build sgit.ai and RiskMandate, which most articles use as evidence), the licences and the participant disclosure are spread across the footer and method pages.

## Why it matters

Readers cannot judge the argument without knowing who is making it and why.

## The fix

A purpose page, linked from the masthead and every byline: the agenda, open by default, how it is written, who it is for, what I want from you.
