Researcher trail

Goal: describe a project once, improve it safely, and create outputs for people and machines.

1. Read why ACORN treats projects as first-class research objects.
2. Complete the Quick Quest with a small research activity record.
3. Learn what check evaluates and how to run it offline.
4. Follow the persistent identifier lifecycle to find and enrich project connections.
5. Choose an export target such as CFF, PDF, Markdown, or PowerPoint.

Your finish line is a version-controlled RAD file that passes the checks you selected and produces at least one shareable artifact.

Next stop: Begin with the hands-on Quick Quest.
