Description

"Nice" feedback from Qdev:

As it turns out examples notebook are not that effective. (Also hard to discover)
The tutorial is almost useless. For a new user the mocks are just noise and add complexity.
No simple example to be found.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the examples notebooks and tutorial to identify why they are hard to discover and why the mocks add complexity for new users. Define a simple introductory example and a clearer tutorial path, then verify that a new user can find and follow the examples without unnecessary mock-related setup.
