+This repository hosts the FINOS models, data and benchmarking suite. If you are interested in contributing, read the requirement below:
+
+- Model Documentation: Each model should include clear and complete documentation, such as intended use cases, limitations, and detailed descriptions of its inputs, outputs, and architecture.
+
+- Licensing and Compliance: Each model must comply with open-source licensing requirements and that any dependencies align with FINOS standards for legal and IP considerations.
+
+- Quality Assurance: Validation criteria, accuracy thresholds, and performance benchmarks that models should meet before release (WIP)
+
+- Ethical and Responsible AI Considerations: Including SOPs for validating ethical usage, addressing potential biases, and assessing for responsible AI guidelines (WIP)
+
+- Version Control and Updates: Outlining versioning practices for model updates, including tagging significant changes, backward compatibility, and deprecations.
+
+- Model Deployment and Maintenance: Steps to ensure that models are effectively maintained, including monitoring, regular updates, and community-driven issue resolution (WIP)
+
+- Security and Privacy: Reviewing model data handling to ensure privacy-preserving methods are used, especially if models handle any sensitive or user data, even in synthetic or anonymized forms (WIP)
