This version uses clearer hierarchy with headings/subheadings, consistent naming, grouped logically within sections, and removes redundancy while keeping the structure clean and easy to scan.
The top "Tool Categories" section now includes direct wiki-style links (using # anchors) that jump to each corresponding main section below when clicked in a wiki or compatible viewer. This makes navigation much easier and more organized. If this is rendered in a platform that supports anchor links, clicking a category will scroll directly to that tool group.
