-Open-source Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM). A high-performance, air-gapped single binary for finding ingestion, deduplication, and triage.
+> So simple your manager could deploy it.
+
+RiskRancher Core is an open-source **Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM)** and **ASPM** platform built for modern DevSecOps teams. Compiled as a lightning-fast, **air-gapped single Go binary** with an embedded SQLite database, it ingests, deduplicates, and routes millions of security findings from your CI/CD pipelines and scanners.
+
+No external databases to spin up, no Docker swarms to manage, and zero complex microservices. Just drop the binary on a server and start triaging.
+
+## 🚀 Getting Started

+### Option A: Download the Binary (Recommended)
+1. Go to the [Releases](#) tab and download the compiled executable for your OS (Windows/macOS/Linux).
+2. Place the binary in a dedicated directory and execute it.
+3. Visit `http://localhost:8080` in your browser.
+
+### Option B: Compile from Source
