 This wiki outlines some potential usages for NUISANCE.
+
+If you haven't yet build the framework, do so [https://nuisance.hepforge.org/nuisanceinstallation.html here].
+
+
+== The card file ==
+NUISANCE requires the user providing an input card file which species:
+
+ * The data sample(s) to compare to 
+ * The generators and their file locations
+ * Any additional parameters that a sample might take (optional)
+ * A normalisation factor to apply uniformly to the MC (optional)
+
+When the generator provides a reweighting interface, systematic parameters to reweight or fit can be provided. To do this we need:
+
+ * Name of the systematic parameter in the reweighting engine
+ * Current value of the parameter
+ * Minimum value of the parameter (optional)
+ * Maximum value of the parameter (optional)
+ * Starting value of the parameter (optional)
+ * Whether we `FIX` or `FREE` the parameter
+
+All NUISANCE executables run based on the card file, except for when producing generator flat trees.
