+This project was developed as part of the SPRIND Composite Learning Challenge
+(https://www.sprind.org/en/actions/challenges/composite-learning),
+funded by the German Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIND).
+
+As a participant in this challenge, we provide disclosures related to pre-existing
+and sideground intellectual property rights (IPR) as required by the participation
+agreement (Anlage 3).
+
+Signed IPR disclosure documents are stored in the `legal/` directory of this repository.
+They are included to support SPRIND program compliance and transparency for evaluators
+and authorized reviewers.
