+## Adopter types 
+
+See CNCF [definition of an adopter](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/FAQ.md#what-is-the-definition-of-an-adopter) <br>
+
+Any single company can fall under several categories at once in which case it should enumerate all that apply and only be listed once
+- **End-User** (CNCF member) - Companies and organizations who are End-User members of the CNCF
+- **Another project** - an open source project that leverages a CNCF project as part of their solution, integrates with for compatibility and interoperability,
+  or is used in the supply chain of another project
+- **end users** (non CNCF member)- companies and organizations that are not CNCF End-User members that use the project and cloud native technologies internally, or build upon
+  a cloud native open source project but do not sell the cloud native project externally as a service offering (those are Service Providers). This group is identified in the written
+  form by the convention end user, uncapitalized and unhyphenated
+- **Service Provider** - a Service Provider is an organization that repackages an open source project as a core component of a service offering, sells cloud native services externally.
+  A Service Provider’s customers are considered transitive adopters and should be excluded from identification within the ADOPTERS.md file.
+  Examples of Service Providers (and not end users) include cloud providers (e.g., Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure), some infrastructure software vendors,
+  and telecom operators (e.g., AT&T, China Mobile)
+- **Consultancy** - an entity whose purpose is to assist other organizations in developing a solution leveraging cloud native technology. They may be embedded in the end user team and
+  is responsible for the execution of the service. Service Providers may also provide consultancy services, they may also package cloud native technologies for reuse
+  as part of their offerings. These function as proxies for an end user
