# Guide Universe → Start Here Routing Card

Status: local exact-copy review card. This file documents how advanced search intent should route beginners back to the core StackPilot order before they choose specialist manuals or tools.

## Purpose

When a visitor searches the Guide Universe with beginner language, the first result should be the Start Here Manual Router, not a niche tool guide. This keeps the teaching order intact:

buyer → pain → offer → stack → agents → content → customers → delivery

## Exact search-intent behavior to review
