Audience, Market, Product
summary
The central claim is that documentation success follows from diagnosing three concrete things — audience, market, product — and matching content to them: start with homepage/value proposition, provide a clear hello world, then pragmatic tutorials and targeted reference. Workload scales with the fit between developer style and API design (a misfit creates the largest documentation burden), market sales model determines priorities (high-touch vs low-touch sales), and the knitting metaphor shows which scenarios require heavy versus light docs.
