Whitepaper:
Hyperledger [title, as few words as possible]
Purpose of This Paper
...
The purpose of this white paper is to define how a blockchain-based solution can help telecommunication service providers settle cross-charging payments efficiently and quickly by reducing friction and removing intermediaries. The final deliverable is a Proof of Concept (PoC) that demonstrates the functionality of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
[If something is NOT covered that a reader might reasonably expect to find here, say so. From then on, use the construction... “Any further discussion of (said topic) is beyond the scope of this document.”]
Intended Audience
[state the intended audience as precisely as possible. For most white papers, this will be a technical audience, not a business audience. Does their level of technical understanding matter? Are there some matters they should already understand before they can get anything from the current document? Can we point them to this kind of prerequisite information? Does it matter which framework(s) they are using: Fabric, Indy, Sawtooth, etc? Does it matter what issue they are trying to understand: security, interoperability, etc?]
The primary audience of this white paper are network operators who are interested in reducing the cost of cross-charging settlements, as well as technical people who are interested developing the PoC.

Introduction
This white paper
...
[In this section, provide a high-level introduction to the topic being covered. If the main body of the white paper will cover four different topics, name them each here, and point to the section where they are considered in more detail.]
...
will describe the inefficiencies and problems of the current system telecommunication network operators use to settle charges amongst themselves. The paper will also propose a solution based and a PoC based on Hyperledger to make the system more efficient and cost effective.
1.1 subsection--topic 1
[If needed, break up the Introduction in subsections. Always have at least 2 subsections, 1.1 and 1.2 or else this numbering system looks unnecessary.]

Table 1: Summary of Hyperledger Frameworks
FRAMEWORK | BRIEF DESCRIPTION | SEE ALSO |
HYPERLEDGER FABRIC | A platform for building distributed ledger solutions with a modular architecture that delivers a high degree ofconfidentiality, flexibility, resiliency, and scalability. This enables solutions developed with Hyperledger Fabric to be adapted for any industry. | 6.2 |
HYPERLEDGER SAWTOOTH | A modular platform for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. Sawtooth features a new type of consensus, proof of elapsed time (PoET) which consumes far fewer resources than proof of work (PoW). | 6.3 |
