+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Azure CLI logged in: `az login`
+2. Environment variables set (or `.env` file in the `python/` directory):
+   ```
+   FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://your-project.services.ai.azure.com
+   FOUNDRY_MODEL=gpt-4.1
+   AZURE_CONTENTUNDERSTANDING_ENDPOINT=https://your-cu-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com/
