The landing page and "Get started" are well-written but offload too much to external,
partly-stale resources. "Get started" quickly routes the reader to the external online
course and four cheatsheets, and flags a YouTube series that is "no longer entirely
up-to-date." A fisheries scientist evaluating mizer wants one self-contained, end-to-end
worked example on-site: load real species params → calibrate to observed biomass/yield →
project a fishing scenario → interpret an indicator. The pieces exist in the mizer Course but aren't
stitched into a single canonical tutorial.
A smaller point: the raw parameter-calculation messages shown in the intro output ("Because
you have n != p, the default value for h is not very good…", "von Bertalanffy … is not
reliable") are alarming to a new user with no context. Suppress them in the vignette's first example.
