This section deliberately keeps two assembly-guide versions in parallel while the project team evaluates which experience to retain. Both describe the same device, but their structure and interaction model differ.

:::{grid-item-card} Version A — Interactive SOP Use the single-page, step-by-step checklist during a bench build. It is optimized for sequential progress and quick validation.

:::{grid-item-card} Version B — Modular Sphinx guide
Use the six rendered tutorials from assembly-tutorials, with the versioned BOM and the available videos embedded on their matching module pages.

Neither version is removed during this comparison period. For useful feedback, complete a build primarily with one version and record where its navigation, level of detail, or media support helps or blocks you.
- Review the safety notes.
- Download the Master BOM and confirm every unresolved field for the hardware revision being built.
- Prepare 3D-printed and laser-cut parts.
- Choose one of the two guide versions above for the evaluation build.
- Record deviations and validation notes, including the guide version used.

The assembly-tutorials repository owns the editable module guides and BOM. It is included here as a pinned Git submodule, so the manual renders the reviewed source revision directly instead of maintaining a second editable copy.
