P2: Door consolidation — README/START-HERE/MVA/handbook overlap #36

Source: 2026-04-20 multi-expert AADM audit. Docs-UX auditor.

Problem

README.md, START-HERE.md, MINIMUM-VIABLE-ADOPTION.md, handbook/Developer_Handbook.md, method/AI_Assisted_Development_Method_v3_2_1.md all re-introduce the method.

README and START-HERE have ~70% content overlap. New users bounce: README → "read START-HERE first" → START-HERE → "read method/" → 1057 lines → handbook says half of it again.

Fix

  • README becomes a 30-line landing pad: links to START-HERE (adoption), MVA (incremental), method (theory), handbook (practice). Nothing re-introduces.
  • START-HERE is canonical entry door for everyone.
  • Each top-level doc has exactly one job, stated in its first paragraph.

Acceptance

grep -l "what AADM solves" returns one file. Same for any other introductory phrase that should appear once.
