+   **New to Software Composition Analysis?**
+
+   Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps you understand what open source
+   components are in your software, their licenses, and any security vulnerabilities.
+   Think of it as creating a detailed ingredient list for your software, so you
+   can make informed decisions about what you use and how you use it.
