+Similarity is established based on an index 0.0 - 1.0 :
+- 0.0 being least similar
+- 1.0 being most similar.
+
+By default this extension leverages a similarity index of 0.8.
+
 This extension can be leveraged in combination with the [Find similar workitems](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tschmiedlechner.find-similar-workitems) extension to establish which work items are similar to the current item.
