I always want more information before I start a compilcated procedure,
especially if that complicated procedure is mostly automated so that I
don't have to attend the details.

I always want to understand the theoretical underpinnings.

That said, once I do understand, I want a compact exposition of the
steps and substeps I have to follow as I follow them.

The document I want is such a compact exposition, but with links to
the theoretical underpinnings. It drives me crazy not to know what's
really going on.
