 OSVVM is simple enough to use on small blocks and powerful enough to 
 use on large, complex chips or systems.
 
-One of the goals of OSVVM is to reduce the time spent on verification. 
-OSVVM accomplishes this by: 
-- Using the same framework approach for RTL, Core, and Chip level verification, 
-we are able to reuse/pre-use verification components and test sequences between the different levels of verification.
-- Using OSVVM's Model Independent transactions, we are able to share test sequences between different components.
-- Using OSVVM's reporting, we are able to facilitate debug by making root cause of failures more readily available.
+OSVVM supports the same capabilities that verification languages
+such as SystemVerilog + UVM support - including transaction level modeling,
+verification components, functional coverage, constrained random tests,
+Intelligent Coverage random tests,
+data structures (such as scoreboards, FIFOs, and Memories),
+error logging and reporting, message filtering, and
+advanced test reporting (HTML and JUnit XML for CI/CD).
 
-OSVVM is developed by the same VHDL experts who have helped develop VHDL standards.

-## [OsvvmLibraries Repository](https://github.com/osvvm/OsvvmLibraries) 
+SynthWorks has been using OSVVM for 25+ years in our
+training classes and consulting work.
+During that time, we have innovated new capabilities
+and evolved our existing ones to increase
+re-use and reduce effort and time spent.

+## Download OSVVM 
+OSVVM is available as either a git repository 
 [OsvvmLibraries](https://github.com/osvvm/OsvvmLibraries) 
-contains all of the OSVVM libraries as submodules.   
+or zip file from [osvvm.org Downloads Page](https://osvvm.org/downloads).
 
-Download all of OSVVM using git clone with the "--recursive" flag:  
+On GitHub, all OSVVM libraries are a submodule of the repository OsvvmLibraries. Download all OSVVM libraries using git clone with the “–recursive” flag:
         `$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/osvvm/OsvvmLibraries`
 
-If you would prefer a .zip file, see [osvvm.org Downloads](https://osvvm.org/downloads)
+## Run The Demos
+A great way to get oriented with OSVVM is to run the demos.
