I'd like to get some feedback on the notion of organizing technical product content around competency levels, i.e., 'novice, intermediate, advanced.' Can anyone point me to any research done on the effectiveness of this practice?

Presumably, there would be some means for a site visitor to identify the competency level of him or herself. I'm wondering whether you risk obscuring information by grouping content in this way.
