Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the defender or guardian as a protective role, identify its kinds and legal forms such as guardianship, distinguish the sporting, legal and military senses, and route to the right entry.
A person who cares for, guards or protects other persons or property, in roles such as guardian, protector, bodyguard, custodian or monitor, in the registry sense of protection rather than sport or law; the word also names positions in team sports, defence counsel in law, human rights defenders and military defenders, which are separate senses, and the registry aliases include admonisher and reminder in the sense of one who watches over conduct.
What it is for: Protecting persons or property.
It can be explain the protective role; identify legal and informal forms; distinguish other senses; route to the right entry.
