-# CSET
-
-CSET is a toolkit for evaluation and investigation of numerical models for
-weather and climate applications. It aims to replace the collection of bespoke
-scripts littering people’s home directories, reducing effort wasted on
-duplicating already existing code. This centralisation of diagnostics should
-also make evaluations more consistent and comparable. Development takes place in
-the CSET repository on GitHub.
+# CSET (Convective and turbulence scale Evaluation and verification Toolkit)
+
+CSET is a toolkit for verification, evaluation and investigation of convective-
+and turbulence-scale numerical models for weather and climate applications,
+cutting across time and space scales.
+
+It aligns parametrisation development, diagnostic development and evaluation
+research, feeding back into RAL (Regional Atmosphere and Land) development
+across the Met Office and UM partnership.
+
+Apart from verification capabilities it provides a centralised source of tools
+to aid process-oriented evaluation for UM and LFRic models, supporting both
+deterministic and ensembles.
+
+For model developers CSET offers well documented and peer reviewed evaluation
+tools and flexible evaluation code that can adapt to users needs.
+
+For diagnostic developers it provides a legacy for diagnostics and observations.
+It is build on a modern software stack using python 3 and METplus. Clear
+documentation, working practices, automatic testing, and open access promote
+contributions.
 
 Please read [the documentation](https://metoffice.github.io/CSET) to learn more
 about CSET, and how to use it.
