# SMART HIV — L2 Contextualization Guidance

Hands-on guidance for **adapting WHO HIV SMART Guidelines L2 artifacts** — the **decision-support tables** and **indicators** of the Digital Adaptation Kit (DAK) — to a national context, using **Ethiopia** as the worked example.
It is built for national HIV program + digital-health teams and the **L2/L3 working groups** doing the adaptation.
## Start here
- **Walkthrough (tutorial)** — read this first. How to read each DAK annex, the authoring conventions, and two worked examples (a decision table and an indicator) carried end to end. (PDF · markdown source)
> PDFs (tutorial + both cheat sheets) are **regenerated by the Pages CI on every deploy** from the HTML — they aren't committed to the repo.
## Keep beside the annexes (one-page cheat sheets)
- **Decision-support table** — PDF · HTML
- **Indicator** — PDF · HTML
## Reference
- **Source reference** — the detailed method, conventions, and worked artifacts, with citations.
## How to use
1. Read the **walkthrough** to learn the adaptation loop: *locate → read the WHO logic → find the national divergences → author in the WHO format → check → record provenance → hand to L3.*
2. Keep the matching **cheat sheet** open while you author a decision table or an indicator.
3. Use the **source reference** for the detailed conventions and the fully worked examples.
