-## About This Project
+## Prerequisites
 
-Eryxon MES is built by [Sheet Metal Connect e.U.](https://www.sheetmetalconnect.com/), founded by Luke van Enkhuizen, for digital transformation of SMB metals companies.
+- [Supabase](https://supabase.com) account
+- [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com) account
+- Node.js 20+
 
-This is a starting point. Each shop is unique - fork it, customize it, make it yours. Sheet Metal Connect e.U. can help you self-host and adapt it to your specific needs.
-
-**Recommended:** Self-host with your own Supabase instance or Docker.

-### External Components (Feature Flags)
-
-Some features require external services that must be deployed separately:
-
-| Feature | Service | Description | Feature Flag |
-|---------|---------|-------------|--------------|
-| Advanced CAD (PMI/MBD) | `services/eryxon3d` | Server-side CAD processing with PMI extraction | `advancedCAD` |
-
-These external components are:
-- **Disabled by default** - must be explicitly enabled via feature flags in Organization Settings
-- **Self-hosted** - you deploy and control the service
-- **Optional** - core MES functionality works without them
-
-To enable an external feature:
-1. Deploy the required service (see `services/` directory)
-2. Configure environment variables (see `.env.example`)
-3. Enable the feature flag in Admin → Settings → Organization Settings
