The four tabs
This is the Diátaxis framework, and we hold to it strictly. If you find a Guide that starts explaining theory, or a Concept that has grown a numbered checklist, that’s a bug — tell us.
Every page ends with a Related block linking its siblings in the other three tabs, so you can move between modes on the same subject without going back to the sidebar.

- Billing: Submit clean claims → Post payments from 835s → Work the denial queue → File appeals
- Finance: Structure accounts across entities → Move money between PC and MSO → Reconcile payments daily → Set up bookkeeping
