 ## The Problem
 
-Canada creates incredible amounts of open data, from foundational road networks to federal census statistics. However, these datasets are often locked in legacy formats, fragmented portals, or structures that require significant engineering effort to normalize before they can be used. For a researcher or a system developer, the "time-to-insight" is often bottlenecked by data preparation.
+Canada creates incredible amounts of open data, from foundational road networks, federal census statistics, orthoimagery, and other. However, these datasets are often locked in legacy formats, fragmented portals, or structures that require significant engineering effort to normalize before they can be used. For a researcher or a system developer, the "time-to-insight" is often bottlenecked by data preparation.
 
 ## The Solution
 
 We act as the transformation layer. We aggregate datasets with permissive licenses and process them into "digestible" standards optimized for modern downstream applications.
 
-* **For Researchers:** Skip the cleaning phase. Access normalized, documented data ready for analysis.
+* **For Researchers and Developers:** Skip the cleaning phase. Access normalized, documented data ready for analysis.
 * **For Systems:** Standardized data structures designed to feed directly into pipelines, data warehouses, and downstream services.
