How this section should grow

The full Miele support universe is large, but we should not publish every possible variation blindly. Phase 1 focuses on high-intent repair searches. Phase 2 should expand the winners with model-specific pages and parts guidance. Phase 3 can cover the long tail only where Search Console or shop questions prove there is demand.
