# Information architecture

1. Gather content/features list and primary user tasks.
2. Group content by user mental models, not org chart. Limit top-level navigation to 5-7 items (3-5 for mobile tab bars).
3. Propose a sitemap (indented list) with plain-language labels. Flag jargon.
4. Recommend navigation pattern per platform and where search, account and help belong.
5. Provide a validation plan: open card sort questions (for discovery) or tree-test tasks (for the proposed structure) with success thresholds.

Output the sitemap, label rationale, navigation recommendation and test plan.
