There's a great tech writing book called Every Page is Page One[1] that changed how I write docs. Its primary conceit is basically what you've described: every single doc needs to immediately orient its reader, either with an intro paragraph or seamless hyperlinks to relevant background material (or, ideally, both). If the reader lands on a page that isn't right for them, it's the writer's job to leave a trail of breadcrumbs that leads them where they need to go. To grossly oversimplify, the EPPO page structure is almost like a Wikipedia article. Imagine you end up on the page for, idk, anthrax. If you already know a bit about yucky diseases and want to learn more, you'll read on. If you get a couple paragraphs in and you're like "wait, what exactly is a bacterium?", you can click the hyperlink to the relevant article about bacteria. And if you actually wanted to read about the metal band, there's an escape hatch to redirect you to the correct location. [1] https://everypageispageone.com/ https://everypageispageone.com/
