Use this before choosing an occupation manual.

## Pick the closest shelf

| If the work is mostly about… | Start with this shelf | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Websites, apps, data, QA, security, support, systems, or networks | Software, Web & Data | Technical work needs source control, access boundaries, validation, rollback, and qualified review. |
| Realtors, appraisers, property/community managers, mortgage-adjacent property workflows, or new-home sales prep | Real Estate | Buyer/client communication, fair-housing-sensitive language, MLS/CRM/builder claims, pricing, and follow-up need clear approval gates. |
| Claims, underwriting, policy service, client review, evidence intake, or insurance documentation | Insurance | Source-of-truth separation and authorized human judgment matter more than automation speed. |
| Lending, credit, mortgage intake, financial analysis, advice-adjacent workflows, or regulated money decisions | Banking, Mortgage & Credit | Rights, money, eligibility, pricing, and compliance-sensitive claims stay human-reviewed. |
| Something not on the completed shelf | Start Here + route card | Do not treat a planned topic as a finished specialist manual. Define the task first. |

## Safety check

If the task affects rights, safety, money, housing, healthcare, credit, insurance, employment, legal obligations, customer relationships, live systems, or private records, choose a specialist manual and keep AI in preparation mode only.
