 ## Support Overview
 
+The APEx Algorithm Onboarding service provides support in several key areas. The support can be tailored to the needs
+of the project and can include one or more of the following components:
+
+* **[Algorithm Hosting Platform Onboarding](#hosting-platform-onboarding-support)**\
+  Assistance in selecting and onboarding the algorithm to an [APEx-compliant hosting platform](./platforms.md), ensuring
+  that the algorithm is available for execution as an on-demand service.
+* **[APEx Algorithm Services Catalogue Integration](#apex-algorithm-services-catalogue)**\
+  Guidance on how to integrate the hosted algorithm into the [APEx Algorithm Services Catalogue](https://algorithm-catalogue.apex.esa.int/),
+  making it discoverable and accessible to the EO community.
+* **[Automated Testing and Benchmarking](#automated-testing-and-benchmarking)**\
+  Provision of automated testing and benchmarking services to ensure the algorithm remains functional and accessible over
+  time.
