## Overview
The following documentation is meant to be the primary resource for understanding the background and content for [Infra Finder](https://infrafinder.investinopen.org). We define key terms, describe data sources and data collection and validation processes, and articulate design decisions in order to inform and engage users of Infra Finder, as well as support those interested in submitting information on services not already included in Infra Finder.

## Format
As documentation, it is constructed primarily as a reference source rather than a narrative description of the tool. We strive in this documentation for clarity and completeness, while also making this guide concise and readable for those interested in collaborating with us in this work.
