+**Projects** (in `projects/`) are deployable units - each has its own `pyproject.toml` defining which components/bases to include and service-specific dependencies.

 ## Architecture
 
-Clean Architecture layers:
+All Clean Architecture layers are implemented as Polylith components (bricks) in the `components/` folder:
+
+| Clean Architecture | Polylith Component | Naming Suffix |
+| ------------------ | ------------------ | ------------- |
+| Entities           | Contract           | `*_contract`  |
+| Ports              | Contract           | `*_contract`  |
+| Use Cases          | Flow               | `*_flow`      |
+| Adapters           | Adapter            | `*_adapter`   |
+| Layer Utilities    | Library            | `*_lib`       |
 
 - **Entities** - Domain objects (in `*_contract`)
 - **Use Cases** - Business logic (in `*_flow`)

+- `bases/` - Application entry points (APIs, CLIs)
+- `components/` - Reusable building blocks (business logic, contracts, adapters)
+- `projects/` - Deployable units (service packaging)
+- `development/` - Scratchpad code for exploration
+
+### The Projects Folder
+
+The `projects/` folder contains **deployable units**. Each subdirectory is a separate Python package with its own `pyproject.toml` that defines:
+
+- Service-specific dependencies
+- Which components and bases to include
+- Build and packaging configuration
+
+Projects answer: **"What gets deployed?"**
+
+Components and bases answer: **"What code makes up the service?"**
+
+This separation allows:
+
+- Multiple services from shared code (e.g., REST API + background worker)
+- Independent deployment and versioning per service
+- Service-specific dependency lists
