# Use cases

The 145 uses of blockchain this framework compares a problem against. Generated from the catalogue by `tools/build-pack.py`. Do not edit by hand.

Each entry has a plain description, its parts, and the bar it has to clear: the fit score the scoring map starts from, the fit gate and the readiness gate (SCORING.md says how they are used).

The lines that begin with "Examples" name organisations that have tried the use case. They are evidence for the person to read. They earn no points. They never enter a ranking, a brief or a tender, and you must not name them there.
