One comment that I think is really worth leaning into. Otherwise, this LGTM.

| ## What Chainguard offers | ||
|
|
||
| Chainguard rebuilds open source software into products you can adopt directly, depending on how you consume dependencies: | ||
|
|
||
| - **[Chainguard Containers](/chainguard/chainguard-images/overview/)** are minimal, hardened container images. Following a distroless philosophy, each image includes only your application and its essential runtime dependencies, minimizing the overall attack surface. This minimalism is a large part of why they carry [low-to-no CVEs](/chainguard/chainguard-images/about/zerocve/). | ||
| - **[Chainguard Libraries](/chainguard/libraries/overview/)** bring the same approach to language dependencies. They're drop-in replacements for open source packages in the Java, Python, and JavaScript ecosystems, rebuilt from verified sources and continuously monitored. | ||
|
|
||
| You pull Chainguard Containers and Libraries from a single, policy-aware endpoint, the [Chainguard Repository](/chainguard/chainguard-repository/overview/). |

I suspect marketing will be disappointed that this section only covers two things that Chainguard offers. While we probably don't need to cover everything here that is listed under Products in the sidebar, it's probably a good idea to mention them in some way. Even a quick "among other offerings, see the list of products in the sidebar" or similar would likely prevent some unhappiness and spread some awareness.

What should this PR do?
resolves https://linear.app/chainguard/issue/DOCS-59/docs-new-what-is-chainguard-doc
Adds a high-level "What is Chainguard?" overview that introduces the problem Chainguard solves, its products, the Factory that builds them, and where to go next.
Why are we making this change?
Chainguard Academy lacked a single, high-level entry point that explains what Chainguard is before sending readers into product-specific guides. This doc gives newcomers that orientation and becomes the recommended first stop from the Get Started landing page.
What are the acceptance criteria?
/get-started/what-is-chainguard/with correct front matter and weightingHow should this PR be tested?
Any documentation published to Chainguard Academy is reviewed carefully for accuracy. GUI procedures, API commands, and CLI code snippets in a draft are run and tested thoroughly — by both the author and the reviewer — to confirm they work exactly as written. This helps ensure that readers can follow along and get the same results. See the
edurepo's README./get-started/what-is-chainguard/and verify the overview, product sections, and "Where to go next" links
