Getting Started
===============

This guide provides quick orientation for the modular VmaxBuilder workflow.

Who this is for
---------------

- Researchers integrating transcriptomics and GEM models.
- Developers extending pipeline modules via registry pattern.
- Users who want reproducible Vmax estimation workflows.

What VmaxBuilder does
---------------------

VmaxBuilder organizes data processing into reusable stages:

1. Expression preprocessing.
2. Model preprocessing.
3. Protein abundance estimation.
4. Kcat estimation/resolution.
5. Allocation and Vmax calculation.

Quick path
----------

1. Install package via :doc:`installation`.
2. Review module-level API in :doc:`VmaxBuilder (API)`.
3. Use a minimal workflow once refactored examples are available in :doc:`examples`.

Current project status
----------------------

- Public API is being refactored into a modular pipeline.
- Documentation sections exist now; examples and use cases will expand with implementation.
