+* company-statistics
+** About
+Company-statistics is a global minor mode built on top of the in-buffer
+completion system [[http://company-mode.github.io/][company-mode]]. The idea is to keep a log of a certain number
+of completions you choose, along with some context information, and use that to
+rank candidates the next time you have to choose --- hopefully showing you
+likelier candidates at the top of the list.
+** Use It
+Using the package is simple.
+
+If you install it from the elpa.gnu.org repository with Emacs' package manager,
+you only need to enable the mode, e.g., in your =init.el= file:
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(add-to-hook 'after-init-hook 'company-statistics-mode)
+#+end_src
+
+Alternatively, make sure =company-statistics.el= is in your =load-path=, and add
+to your =init.el= file
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(require 'company-statistics)
+(company-statistics-mode)
+#+end_src
+to load the package manually and turn on the mode.
+
+See the (few but powerful) customizable options for details =M-x customize-group
+company-statistics=.
+** Design
+Company-statistics is an add-on for company-mode, but is only loosely coupled to
+it (it works by adding a sorting function to =company-transformers= as well as a
+handler to =company-completion-finished-hook=). It is designed with some
+flexibility in mind as for the recorded context information and the way
+candidates are scored: the default pair of functions are only examples! The
+stats are automatically persistent between sessions.
+** Have Fun!
