+An Overview
+===================
 The FLINT is a second-generation tool aimed to facilitate the
 implementation and operation of land sector emissions estimation systems
 worldwide. It was developed through cooperation between Kenya, Australia
 and Canada and incorporates lessons learned from the development of the
 CBM-CFS3 (Canada) and FullCAM (Australia). Some core features are:
 
--  A full-mass balance framework able to meet all IPCC requirements.
--  Possibilities for customisation to meet national policy and reporting
-   requirements.
--  A modular system that allows the use of individual and exchangeable
-   modules.
--  Ability to operate in a spatially explicit way.
--  Ability to produce fine resolution time series data.
--  Ability to report on the past and to generate projections.
--  Flexibility for representing all land uses.
--  Providing a framework for continuous improvement.
--  Open-source software managed by moja global under the Linux
-   Foundation.

+- **Full-Mass Balance Framework**: FLINT incorporates a comprehensive full-mass balance framework meticulously designed to meet all the rigorous requirements set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
+
+- **Customization and Alignment**: The tool empowers users by offering possibilities for customization to meet specific national policy and reporting requirements, ensuring alignment with diverse regulatory landscapes.
+
+- **Modular Flexibility**: FLINT operates through a modular system that enables the utilization of individual and exchangeable modules, accommodating varied analytical needs.
+
+- **Spatially Explicit Analysis**: FLINT operates in a spatially explicit manner, allowing in-depth analysis of emissions and removals across geographic regions.
+
+- **Fine Resolution Time Series Data**: The tool is equipped to generate fine-resolution time series data, facilitating detailed temporal analysis.
+
+- **Historical Reporting and Future Projections**: FLINT seamlessly handles historical data reporting and projection generation, bolstering informed decision-making.
+
+- **Versatility Across Land Uses**: FLINT's adaptability extends to encompassing emissions and removals for a diverse array of land use scenarios.
+
+- **Framework for Continuous Improvement**: The tool provides an enduring framework for ongoing enhancement and development, ensuring it remains at the forefront of emissions estimation technology.
+
+- **Open-Source Collaboration**: Managed by Moja Global under the Linux Foundation, FLINT operates as open-source software, fostering collaboration and community contributions.
+
+The FLINT provides a framework to progressively develop **MRV-related
+systems, data and capacities**. By this means, countries can start with
 simple implementations using existing global data sets (Tier 1) and then
 gradually move to more complex calculation approaches, using national
 and regional information (Tier 2 or 3).
