+# Regorus Multi-Threaded Evaluation Benchmark
+
+A benchmark suite for measuring the multi-threaded performance of the Regorus policy evaluation engine.
+
+## Overview
+
+This benchmark evaluates the throughput and scalability of Regorus policy evaluation across different thread counts and configuration strategies. It measures performance variations between fresh and cloned engine instances, as well as fresh and cloned input data.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multi-threaded evaluation** testing from 1 to `num_cpus * 2` threads
+- **Configurable engine strategies**: Fresh vs. cloned engine instances
+- **Configurable input strategies**: Fresh parsing vs. cloned input data
+- **Complex policy evaluation** using realistic RBAC and data sensitivity policies
+- **Criterion-based benchmarking** with statistical analysis
+- **Performance metrics** including throughput and timing
+
+## Benchmark Structure
+
+### Test Configurations
+
+The benchmark tests four different configuration combinations:
+
+1. **Cloned Engines + Cloned Inputs**: Pre-instantiated engines with pre-parsed input data
+2. **Cloned Engines + Fresh Inputs**: Pre-instantiated engines with fresh JSON parsing
+3. **Fresh Engines + Cloned Inputs**: New engine instances with pre-parsed input data
+4. **Fresh Engines + Fresh Inputs**: New engine instances with fresh JSON parsing
+
+### Thread Scaling
+
+Tests are performed with thread counts: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 (up to `num_cpus * 2`)
+
+Each thread performs 1000 policy evaluations to ensure statistically significant measurements.
+
+## Running the Benchmark
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Rust 1.70+
+- Cargo
+
+### Execution
+
+Run the complete benchmark suite:
+
+```bash
+cargo bench evaluation_benchmark
+```
+
+Run specific benchmarks:
+
+```bash
+# Run only cloned engines with cloned inputs
+cargo bench "cloned_engines , cloned_inputs"
+
+# Run only single-threaded tests
+cargo bench "1 threads"
+```
+
+### Output
+
+Results are generated in the `target/criterion/` directory and include:
+
+- Detailed timing statistics
+- Throughput measurements (Kelem/s)
+- Performance comparison with previous runs
+- HTML reports with graphs and analysis
+
+## Test Policies
+
+The benchmark uses complex Rego policies that simulate real-world scenarios:
+
+### RBAC Policy
+- Role-based access control with hierarchical permissions
+- User-role-resource mapping
+- Action-based authorization
+
+### Data Sensitivity Policy
+- Multi-level data classification (public, internal, confidential, secret)
+- Access level validation
+- Clearance-based filtering
+
+### Time-based Access Policy
+- Business hours validation
+- Temporal access control
+- Schedule-based permissions
+
+### Azure Resource Policies
+- **VM Deployment**: VM size restrictions, regional compliance, security configurations
+- **Storage Account Security**: Encryption requirements, network ACLs, HTTPS enforcement
+- **Key Vault Access**: Service principal validation, soft delete requirements, conditional access
+- **Network Security Groups**: Port restrictions, CIDR validation, priority-based rules
+
+### Policy Complexity Features
+- **Multi-condition validation**: Complex nested object property checks
+- **Network operations**: CIDR matching and IP range validation
+- **Time-based constraints**: Timestamp comparisons and business hour logic
+- **Security compliance**: Encryption, authentication, and access control patterns
+- **Azure Resource Manager**: Real-world cloud governance scenarios
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Benchmark Parameters
+
+- **Evaluations per thread**: 1000
+- **Measurement iterations**: 100 samples per configuration
+- **Warm-up time**: 3 seconds
+- **Measurement time**: 10 seconds (extended for high thread counts)
+
+### Customization
+
+The benchmark can be customized by modifying `evaluation_benchmark.rs`:
+
+```rust
+// Adjust evaluations per thread
+let evals_per_thread = 1000;
+
+// Modify thread count calculation
+let max_threads = num_cpus::get() * 2;
+
+// Configure test scenarios
+let scenarios = [
+    (true, true),   // cloned_engines, cloned_inputs
+    (true, false),  // cloned_engines, fresh_inputs
+    (false, true),  // fresh_engines, cloned_inputs
+    (false, false), // fresh_engines, fresh_inputs
+];
+```
+
+## Understanding Results
+
+### Metrics
+
+- **Total Evaluation Time**: Total execution time for all evaluations across all threads (ms)
+- **Throughput**: Evaluations per second measured in Kelem/s
+  - **Kelem/s**: Thousands of elements (policy evaluations) per second
+  - Example: 98.71 Kelem/s = 98,710 policy evaluations per second
+
+
+### Interpretation
+
+- **Lower time** = better performance
+- **Higher throughput** = better performance
+- **Consistent results** across runs indicate stable performance
+- **Outliers** may indicate system interference or measurement variance
+
+### Tips
+
+- Run on dedicated hardware for consistent results
+- Disable other applications during benchmarking
+- Use release builds for accurate performance measurements
+- Consider CPU affinity for highly controlled testing
+
+## Files

+# Compiled Policy Evaluation Benchmark Results
+
+## Test Environment
+- **Platform**: Apple Silicon (M-Series)
+- **CPU**: 16 cores
+- **Architecture**: ARM64 (aarch64-apple-darwin)
+- **Rust Version**: 1.82.0
+- **Benchmark Framework**: Criterion.rs
+- **Test Data**: 20,000 inputs per evaluation (1000 per thread)
+- **Policy**: Complex authorization policy with nested rules
+
+## Benchmark Overview
+
+The compiled policy evaluation benchmark tests Regorus compiled policy performance across multiple thread configurations (1-32 threads). It measures throughput (thousands of evaluations per second) for different combinations of compiled policy and input data reuse strategies.
+
+## Configuration Combinations
+
+1. **Compiled Shared Policies, Cloned Inputs**: Each thread uses shared compiled policies and clones of parsed input data - optimal for performance
+2. **Compiled Shared Policies, Fresh Inputs**: Each thread uses shared compiled policies but parses new inputs each time
+3. **Compiled Per Iteration, Cloned Inputs**: Each thread compiles the policy each iteration but reuses input data
+4. **Compiled Per Iteration, Fresh Inputs**: Each thread compiles new policies and parses new inputs for each iteration
+
+## Performance Results
+

+## Analysis
+
+The compiled policy benchmark demonstrates the following performance characteristics:
+
+1. **Best Performance**: Compiled shared policies with cloned inputs provide the highest throughput
+2. **Compilation Impact**: 
+   - Pre-compiled policies: Significantly faster than per-iteration compilation
+   - Per-iteration compilation: Major overhead (~7x slower than pre-compiled)
+3. **Scaling Patterns**:
+   - Best throughput achieved at 1 thread for shared policy configurations
+   - Higher thread counts show performance degradation due to contention
+   - Per-iteration compilation shows poor scaling across all thread counts
+4. **Input Processing**: Fresh inputs add ~25-30% overhead across all configurations
+5. **Thread Performance**: 
+   - Peak performance at 1 thread for most configurations
+   - Reasonable performance maintained up to 12-16 threads for shared policies
+   - Compiled policies show better thread scaling than per-iteration compilation
+
+## Comparison with Engine Evaluation
+
+| Configuration        | Compiled Policy (1 thread)      | Engine Evaluation (1 thread)    | Performance Ratio |

+| Shared/Fresh         | ~27% reduction from optimal     | ~30% reduction from optimal     |       0.62x-0.97x |
+| Per-iteration/Cloned | ~85% reduction from optimal     | ~86% reduction from optimal     |       0.80x-0.98x |
+| Per-iteration/Fresh  | ~86% reduction from optimal     | ~87% reduction from optimal     |       0.78x-1.00x |

+# Engine Evaluation Benchmark Results
+
+## Test Environment
+- **Platform**: Apple Silicon (M-Series)
+- **CPU**: 16 cores
+- **Architecture**: ARM64 (aarch64-apple-darwin)
+- **Rust Version**: 1.82.0
+- **Benchmark Framework**: Criterion.rs
+- **Test Data**: 20,000 inputs per evaluation (1000 per thread)
+- **Policy**: Complex authorization policy with nested rules
+
+## Benchmark Overview
+
+The engine evaluation benchmark tests Regorus policy evaluation performance across multiple thread configurations (1-32 threads). It measures throughput (thousands of evaluations per second) for different combinations of engine and input data reuse strategies.
+
+## Configuration Combinations
+
+1. **Cloned Engines, Cloned Inputs**: Each thread uses its own engine and clones of parsed input data - optimal for performance
+2. **Cloned Engines, Fresh Inputs**: Each thread uses its own engine but parses new inputs each time
+3. **Fresh Engines, Cloned Inputs**: Each thread creates a new engine each iteration but reuses input data
+4. **Fresh Engines, Fresh Inputs**: Each thread creates new engines and parses new inputs for each iteration
+

+## Analysis
+
+The benchmark results demonstrate the following performance characteristics:
+
+1. **Best Performance**: Cloned engines with cloned inputs consistently deliver the highest throughput
+2. **Configuration Performance Hierarchy**:
+   - Cloned engines, cloned inputs: Best performance (optimal configuration)
+   - Cloned engines, fresh inputs: ~30% reduction from optimal
+   - Fresh engines, cloned inputs: ~86% reduction from optimal
+   - Fresh engines, fresh inputs: ~87% reduction from optimal
+3. **Scaling Patterns**: 
+   - Performance degrades with increased thread count due to contention
+   - Best throughput achieved at 1 thread for cloned engine configurations
+   - Fresh engine configurations show poor scaling across all thread counts
+4. **Engine Creation Overhead**: Fresh engine creation is a significant performance bottleneck (~7-8x slower than cloned engines)
+5. **Input Processing**: Fresh input generation adds moderate overhead (~30% impact compared to cloned inputs)
+6. **Thread Contention**: Performance degradation occurs with higher thread counts across all configurations

+# Regorus C# API Documentation
+
+This document describes the C# API for Regorus, focusing on the compiled policy approach for high-performance policy evaluation.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Regorus C# bindings provide a modern, thread-safe API for compiling and evaluating Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego policies. The API is designed around pre-compiled policies that can be evaluated efficiently multiple times with different inputs.

+## Key Features
+
+- **Pre-compiled Policies**: Compile once, evaluate many times for optimal performance
+- **Target System Support**: Built-in support for Azure Policy targets with resource type inference
+- **Thread Safety**: All operations are thread-safe without external synchronization
+- **Registry Management**: Centralized management of targets and schemas
+- **Policy Introspection**: Rich metadata about compiled policies
+
+## Core Classes
+
+### CompiledPolicy
+
+The `CompiledPolicy` class represents a pre-compiled Rego policy that can be evaluated efficiently.
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class CompiledPolicy : IDisposable
+{
+    // Evaluate the policy with input data
+    public string? EvalWithInput(string inputJson);
+    
+    // Get comprehensive policy metadata
+    public PolicyInfo GetPolicyInfo();
+    
+    // Dispose of unmanaged resources
+    public void Dispose();
+}
+```
+
+**Thread Safety**: All methods are thread-safe. Multiple threads can call `EvalWithInput()` concurrently, and `Dispose()` will safely wait for active evaluations to complete.
+
+### Compiler
+
+The `Compiler` class provides static methods for compiling policies.
+
+```csharp
+public static class Compiler
+{
+    // Compile a policy with a specific entrypoint rule
+    public static CompiledPolicy CompilePolicyWithEntrypoint(
+        string dataJson, 
+        IEnumerable<PolicyModule> modules, 
+        string entryPointRule);
+    
+    // Compile a target-aware policy (requires azure_policy feature)
+    public static CompiledPolicy CompilePolicyForTarget(
+        string dataJson, 
+        IEnumerable<PolicyModule> modules);
+}
+```
+
+### PolicyModule
+
+Represents a single policy module to be compiled. Each PolicyModule corresponds to a Rego file (.rego), and each Rego file defines a Rego package using the `package` declaration at the top of the file.
+
+```csharp
+public struct PolicyModule
+{
+    public string Id { get; set; }
+    public string Content { get; set; }
+    
+    public PolicyModule(string id, string content);
+}
+```
+
+**Properties:**
+- `Id`: A unique identifier for the module, typically the filename (e.g., "policy.rego", "rules/storage.rego")
+- `Content`: The complete Rego policy content, including the `package` declaration and all rules
+
+**Example:**
+```csharp
+var module = new PolicyModule("storage-policy.rego", @"
+    package azure.storage
+    import rego.v1
+    
+    default allow := false
+    allow if input.type == ""Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts""
+");
+```
+
+### PolicyInfo
+
+Provides comprehensive metadata about a compiled policy.
+
+```csharp
+public class PolicyInfo
+{
+    // List of module identifiers
+    public List<string> ModuleIds { get; set; }
+    
+    // Target name (for target-aware policies)
+    public string? TargetName { get; set; }
+    
+    // Resource types this policy can evaluate
+    public List<string> ApplicableResourceTypes { get; set; }
+    
+    // Primary rule/entrypoint
+    public string EntrypointRule { get; set; }
+    
+    // Effect rule (for target-aware policies)
+    public string? EffectRule { get; set; }
+    
+    // Policy parameters
+    public List<PolicyParameters> Parameters { get; set; }
+}
+```
+
+## Registry Classes
+
+### TargetRegistry
+
+Manages target definitions for Azure Policy-style evaluations.
+
+```csharp
+public static class TargetRegistry
+{
+    // Register a target from JSON
+    public static void RegisterFromJson(string targetJson);
+    
+    // Check if a target exists
+    public static bool Contains(string name);
+    
+    // List all registered targets
+    public static string ListNames();
+    
+    // Remove a target
+    public static bool Remove(string name);
+    
+    // Clear all targets
+    public static void Clear();
+    
+    // Get count of registered targets
+    public static int Count { get; }
+    
+    // Check if registry is empty
+    public static bool IsEmpty { get; }
+}
+```
+
+### SchemaRegistry
+
+Manages schema definitions for validation.
+
+```csharp
+public static class SchemaRegistry
+{
+    // Register resource schemas
+    public static void RegisterResourceSchema(string name, string schemaJson);
+    public static bool ContainsResourceSchema(string name);
+    public static string ListResourceSchemas();
+    
+    // Register effect schemas
+    public static void RegisterEffectSchema(string name, string schemaJson);
+    public static bool ContainsEffectSchema(string name);
+    public static string ListEffectSchemas();
+    
+    // Clear methods
+    public static void ClearResourceSchemas();
+    public static void ClearEffectSchemas();
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Policy Compilation and Evaluation
+
+```csharp
+// Define policy modules
+var modules = new List<PolicyModule>
+{
+    new PolicyModule("policy.rego", @"
+        package example
+        import rego.v1
+        
+        default allow := false
+        allow if input.user == ""admin""
+    ")
+};
+
+// Compile the policy
+using var policy = Compiler.CompilePolicyWithEntrypoint("{}", modules, "data.example.allow");
+
+// Evaluate with different inputs
+var result1 = policy.EvalWithInput(@"{""user"": ""admin""}");  // true
+var result2 = policy.EvalWithInput(@"{""user"": ""guest""}");  // false
+```
+
+### Target-Aware Policy (Azure Policy Style)
+
+```csharp
+// Register target definition
+TargetRegistry.RegisterFromJson(@"{
+    ""name"": ""azure.storage"",
+    ""resource_schema_selector"": ""type"",
+    ""resource_types"": {
+        ""Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts"": {
+            ""schema"": { /* JSON Schema */ }
+        }
+    }
+}");
+
+// Define policy with target
+var modules = new List<PolicyModule>
+{
+    new PolicyModule("policy.rego", @"
+        package policy
+        import rego.v1
+        
+        __target__ := ""azure.storage""
+        
+        default effect := ""deny""
+        effect := ""allow"" if {
+            input.type == ""Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts""
+            input.properties.supportsHttpsTrafficOnly == true
+        }
+    ")
+};
+
+// Compile for target
+using var policy = Compiler.CompilePolicyForTarget("{}", modules);
+
+// Evaluate Azure resource
+var resource = @"{
+    ""type"": ""Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts"",
+    ""properties"": {
+        ""supportsHttpsTrafficOnly"": true
+    }
+}";
+
+var result = policy.EvalWithInput(resource);  // "allow"
+```
+
+### Policy Introspection
+
+```csharp
+// Get policy metadata
+var info = policy.GetPolicyInfo();
+
+Console.WriteLine($"Target: {info.TargetName}");
+Console.WriteLine($"Effect Rule: {info.EffectRule}");
+Console.WriteLine($"Modules: {string.Join(", ", info.ModuleIds)}");
+Console.WriteLine($"Resource Types: {string.Join(", ", info.ApplicableResourceTypes)}");
+
+// Access parameters
+if (info.Parameters != null && info.Parameters.Count > 0)
+{
+    foreach (var parameterSet in info.Parameters)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine($"Module: {parameterSet.SourceFile}");
+        foreach (var param in parameterSet.Parameters)
+        {
+            Console.WriteLine($"Parameter: {param.Name} ({param.Type})");
+            if (param.Default != null)
+                Console.WriteLine($"  Default: {param.Default}");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Concurrent Evaluation
+
+```csharp
+// CompiledPolicy is thread-safe
+var tasks = Enumerable.Range(0, 100).Select(i => 
+    Task.Run(() => policy.EvalWithInput($@"{{""id"": {i}}}"))
+).ToArray();
+
+var results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Compilation Overhead
+
+- Policy compilation has significant overhead due to parsing and analysis
+- **Best Practice**: Compile once, reuse many times
+- Consider caching compiled policies for repeated use
+
+### Memory Management
+
+- `CompiledPolicy` manages unmanaged resources
+- **Always** dispose of compiled policies using `using` statements or explicit `Dispose()`
+- Disposal is thread-safe and waits for active evaluations
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+- All classes are thread-safe for concurrent reads/evaluations
+- Registry modifications should be done during initialization
+- No external synchronization required
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All methods throw `Exception` on errors with descriptive messages:
+
+```csharp
+try
+{
+    var policy = Compiler.CompilePolicyWithEntrypoint(data, modules, rule);
+    var result = policy.EvalWithInput(input);
+}
+catch (Exception ex)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
+}
+```
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+Some functionality requires specific Rust feature flags:
+
+- **azure_policy**: Required for target-aware compilation and policy parameters
+- Without this feature, target-related methods will not be available
+
+## Version Compatibility
+
+- Requires .NET Standard 2.0 or later
+- Compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.1+, .NET Core 2.0+, .NET 5+
+- Uses System.Text.Json for JSON serialization (added as dependency)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Compile Once, Evaluate Many**: Pre-compile policies for repeated evaluation
+2. **Use Disposable Pattern**: Always dispose of CompiledPolicy instances
+3. **Thread-Safe Design**: Take advantage of built-in thread safety
+4. **Registry Setup**: Configure targets and schemas during application startup
+5. **Error Handling**: Wrap operations in try-catch blocks for robust error handling
+6. **Performance Monitoring**: Monitor evaluation times for performance optimization
+
+## Migration from Engine-Based API
+
+If migrating from an engine-based approach:
+
+```csharp
+// Old approach (if it existed)
+// var engine = new Engine();
+// engine.AddPolicy("policy.rego", policyContent);
+// engine.SetInputJson(inputJson);
+// var result = engine.EvalRule("data.policy.allow");
+
+// New compiled approach
+var modules = new[] { new PolicyModule("policy.rego", policyContent) };
+using var policy = Compiler.CompilePolicyWithEntrypoint("{}", modules, "data.policy.allow");
+var result = policy.EvalWithInput(inputJson);
+```
+
+The compiled approach provides better performance for repeated evaluations and clearer resource management.

+# Compiled Policy Evaluation Benchmark Results (C#/.NET)
+
+## Test Environment
+- **Platform**: Apple Silicon (M-Series)
+- **CPU**: 16 cores
+- **Architecture**: ARM64 (aarch64-apple-darwin)
+- **.NET Version**: 8.0
+- **Benchmark Framework**: Custom time-based benchmarking
+- **Test Data**: 20,000 inputs per evaluation (distributed across threads)
+- **Policy**: Complex authorization policy with nested rules
+- **Warmup Duration**: 3 seconds per configuration
+- **Evaluation Duration**: 3 seconds per configuration
+
+## Benchmark Overview
+
+The C# compiled policy evaluation benchmark tests Regorus compiled policy performance across multiple thread configurations (1-32 threads). It measures throughput (thousands of evaluations per second) for different combinations of compiled policy compilation strategies.
+
+## Configuration Combinations
+
+1. **Compiled Shared Policies**: All threads share pre-compiled policy instances - optimal for performance
+2. **Compiled Per Iteration**: Each thread compiles the policy for each evaluation iteration
+
+*Note: The C# implementation uses a simpler configuration model compared to Rust, which also varies input data handling (cloned vs fresh inputs). The C# benchmarks focus on compilation strategies with consistent input handling.*

+## Analysis
+
+The C# compiled policy benchmark demonstrates important performance characteristics:
+
+1. **Compilation Strategy Impact**: Shared compiled policies significantly outperform per-iteration compilation (~5.4x at 1 thread)
+2. **Scaling Patterns**: 
+   - Best throughput achieved at 1 thread for shared policies
+   - Performance generally degrades with increased thread count
+3. **Performance Hierarchy**:
+   - Shared compiled policies: Best performance (optimal configuration)
+   - Per-iteration compilation: ~82% reduction from optimal
+4. **Compilation Overhead**: Per-iteration compilation creates substantial overhead, similar to fresh engine creation
+5. **Thread Contention**: Significant performance degradation beyond 8 threads for both configurations
+
+## Comparison with Rust Compiled Policy Evaluation
+
+| Configuration    | C# Performance (1 thread)  | Rust Performance (1 thread) | Relative Performance |
+|:-----------------|:----------------------------|:-----------------------------|---------------------:|
+| Shared Policies  | Best performance            | Higher throughput            |          0.40x-0.70x |
+| Per-iteration    | ~82% reduction from optimal | ~85% reduction from optimal  |          0.47x-0.89x |
+
+*Note: Rust benchmarks include additional input data variations (cloned vs fresh inputs) that are not present in the C# implementation.*
+
+## Comparison with C# Engine Evaluation
+
+| Configuration  | Compiled Policy (1 thread) | Engine Evaluation (1 thread) | Performance Ratio |
+|:---------------|:----------------------------|:------------------------------|------------------:|
+| Optimal Config | Best performance            | Slightly higher throughput    |              0.96x |
+
+## Performance Insights
+
+1. **Compilation Efficiency**: Pre-compiled policies provide massive performance benefits over per-iteration compilation
+2. **C# Performance Gap**: C# compiled policies achieve 40%-70% of Rust performance for shared policies
+3. **Engine vs Compiled**: In C#, engine evaluation slightly outperforms compiled policies (96%-104% range)

+## Analysis
+
+The C# benchmark results demonstrate important performance characteristics:
+
+1. **Engine Reuse Impact**: Cloned engines significantly outperform fresh engines (~5.3x at 1 thread)
+2. **Scaling Patterns**: 
+   - Best throughput achieved at 1 thread for both configurations
+   - Performance degrades with increased thread count due to contention
+   - Cloned engines show better relative scaling characteristics
+3. **Performance Hierarchy**: 
+   - Cloned engines: Best performance (optimal configuration)
+   - Fresh engines: ~81% reduction from optimal
+4. **Thread Contention**: Significant performance drop beyond 8 threads, especially for fresh engines
+5. **C# vs Rust Performance**: C# shows ~67% of Rust performance for equivalent cloned engine configuration
+
+## Comparison with Rust Engine Evaluation
+
+| Configuration  | C# Performance (1 thread) | Rust Performance (1 thread) | Relative Performance |
+|:---------------|:---------------------------|:-----------------------------|---------------------:|
+| Cloned Engines | Best performance           | Higher throughput            |          0.67x-0.92x |
+| Fresh Engines  | ~81% reduction from optimal| ~87% reduction from optimal  |          0.75x-0.95x |
+
+*Note: Rust benchmarks include additional input data variations (cloned vs fresh inputs) that are not present in the C# implementation.*
+
+## Performance Insights
+
+1. **Engine Creation Overhead**: Fresh engine creation has massive performance impact in C# (~5.3x slower)
+2. **Thread Scaling**: C# shows more significant thread contention than Rust implementation
+3. **Memory Management**: .NET garbage collection may contribute to performance variations
+4. **Interop Overhead**: C# bindings add measurable overhead compared to native Rust

+# Regorus CSharp
+
+**Regorus** is
+
+  - *Rego*-*Rus(t)*  - A fast, light-weight [Rego](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-language/)
+   interpreter written in Rust.
+  - *Rigorous* - A rigorous enforcer of well-defined Rego semantics.
+
+See main [Regorus page](https://github.com/microsoft/regorus) for more details about the project.
+
+# Building
+
+## Github Actions
+
+The simplest way to build a Nuget for Regorus' C# bindings is to use Github Actions. The action to do so is named `bindings/csharp` and is defined in `.github/workflows/test-csharp.yml`.
+
+There are two ways to trigger a Nuget build.
+1. Runs are triggered automatically whenever a push or pull request is made to the `main` branch.
+2. A run can be triggered manually by navigating to the action in the Github UI and clicking `Run workflow`. This option allows you to generate a Nuget for any branch, which is useful when testing the integration of in-progress changes to Regorus with other projects. Nuget files that are generated via this flow will have a `manualtrigger` suffix appended to their version number, making it easy to distinguish them from Nugets generated using the `main` branch.
+![Image displaying the run workflow button](docs/images/readme/manuallytriggeringrun.png)
+
+Once the workflow run completes, the generated Nuget can be downloaded by following these steps:
+1. Open the run.
+2. Click on `Build Regorus nuget` on the left.
+3. Expand the `Upload Regorus nuget` step.
+4. Click the `Artifact download URL` link at the bottom.
+5. Save and extract the downloaded zip file to find the `.nupkg` file.
