-Multi-objective trade-study orchestration: scoring, Pareto optimization,
-and Bayesian stacking for scientific model evaluation.
+Multi-objective design and evaluation: score competing configurations —
+model formulations, solver choices, measurement strategies, or any design
+decision — against known ground truth via scoring, Pareto optimization,
+and Bayesian stacking.
 
 ## Overview
 
-`trade-study` provides a structured framework for evaluating scientific
-simulation models against known ground truth via observable-based scoring,
-multi-objective Pareto optimization, and Bayesian model stacking.
