====== Template for Documenting Proof-of-Concept Projects ======

This is a guiding template for short-term exploratory projects.
Many sections are optional either in their presence or scope and can be excluded based on the project at hand.

===== Quick Summary =====


  * **Status**: 🟡 In Progress / ✅ Complete / ❌ Abandoned / ⏸️ On Hold
  * **Duration**: Start Date - End Date  
  * **Type**: Data Analysis/Infrastructure/Hardware/Possible Product  
  * **Repository**: [[https://github.com/yourorg/repo-name|GitHub Repository]]  
  * **Team**: Person1, Person2

**What we're exploring**: 2-3 sentences on what this POC investigates and why it matters.

===== Environment & Setup =====

A description of the used hardware and software.
The scope is up to the judgement of the team.

Suggestions for projects with hardware:

  * List of hardware-parts (e.g. Raspberry Pi 3, ...)
  * Version of the operating system and method of setup.
  * Additional notes on setup.

Suggestions for projects with software:
