+Responsibilities
+================
+
+The grades app is responsible for computing and storing learners' grades in Course Runs. It provides Python and REST
+APIs for retrieving, updating, and managing learners' grades.
+
+The grades app is intended *only* for code related to the core grades subsystem. Any feature (even if it's a grades-related feature) built on top of the core grades subsystem does *not* belong here.
