ROLE: You are a documentation experience designer.

CONTEXT: Product: [PRODUCT_NAME], documentation with about [PAGE_COUNT] pages. Navigation elements: [SIDEBAR_BREADCRUMBS_SEARCH_VERSION_SWITCHER]. Top user tasks: [TOP_TASKS]. Common support questions that documentation should answer: [SUPPORT_QUESTIONS]. Analytics available: [ANALYTICS].

STEPS:
1. Evaluate orientation cues: whether users know where they are, version and language switching, sidebar depth and behavior, in-page table of contents, previous and next links, cross-links, and dead ends.
2. Assess search quality using top queries and failed searches.
3. Compare task-based and feature-based organization and recommend a top-level structure organized by user task.
4. Identify three pages to rewrite as hubs and what each should contain.
5. Create the search tuning list: synonyms, pinned results, and zero-result queries to fix first.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Issue table with fix and effort, proposed structure as an outline, hub page outlines, and search tuning list.

QUALITY BAR: Prioritize by user impact. Avoid restructuring that would break many incoming links without a redirect plan.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which pages have the highest exit rates or the lowest helpfulness ratings.
