 ## Rationale
 
-Especially when an organization has never released any project as open source, that task may feel daunting. Being able to practice things internally can be a safer space for experimentation and failure.
+Releasing a project as open source may feel daunting, especially when an organization has never done this before. Being able to practice things internally can be a safer space for experimentation and failure.
 
-If it turns out that a given InnerSource project does not gain enough adoption internally, the organization may decide to not make the project open source at all. This assumes that the organization is large enough to allow for a realistic test.

 Allowing the maintainers of the project to practice the required skills internally mitigates risks, improves sustainability, and maximizes the chances of long-term success of the project.

-We use badges to identify our projects at the stages we consider important in the maturity of an InnerSource project.
-The first step for a project is to receive the **InnerSource Ready** badge, which indicates that the project meets the structure, artifacts, and documentation quality required for the initiative.
-This stage also uploads project information to our internal [InnerSource project portal](../2-structured/innersource-portal.md), where it receives some visibility, allowing it to receive contributions and become better known within our teams.
-We are currently reviewing our InnerSource stage flow, where a project will be able to use AI-based tools to automatically generate all the necessary requirements to be considered InnerSource Ready. This will allow us to focus more on making it active and attractive to the internal community.
