• Installation — pip install (default + extras), uv add evidentia, container image with cosign verification, air-gapped install (offline wheelhouse pattern), virtualenv setup, troubleshooting common install failures.

• Quickstart — 5-minute "from zero to your first OSCAL Assessment Results" walkthrough using bundled test fixtures. Includes the verify-the-artifact-chain step (PEP 740 + cosign).

• First collection — walk through wiring a single collector (GitHub or AWS) end-to-end: collector config, run, inspect findings, map to a framework, emit OSCAL.
