+Mercado Libre tags projects with badges to identify at which stage of their self-defined InnerSource maturity a project currently is. The first step for a project is to receive the **InnerSource Ready** badge. This indicates that the project meets the structure, artifacts, and documentation quality required for the initiative. This stage also uploads project information to our internal [InnerSource project portal](../2-structured/innersource-portal.md), creating more visibility for the project, allowing it to receive contributions and become better known within our teams.
