@@ -11,3 +11,10 @@ Porch is a specialization and orchestration tool for managing distributed system
 developers, integrators and telecom operators to manage complex systems in a cloud native environment.  Porch runs
 [kpt](https://kpt.dev/) at a scale for package specialization. It provides collaboration and governance enablers and
 integration with GitOps for the packages.
+
+## Goals and scope of Porch
+
+The goal of Porch is to orchestrate kpt packages in a configuration as code and GitOps context. It provides an API and a CLI as enablers to build lifecycle management, package repository management, package discovery, and authoring kpt packages. 
+
+Porch does not intend to run mutation pipelines, package specialization and basic package manipulation in GitOps, but uses kpt for these operations.
