# Introducing Works
## About Works
The DIGIT Works solution is built as an open-source Digital Public Good to expand capabilities in public infrastructure. It is designed to work across boundaries at varying levels of capacity and complexity.
As per a recent article in Economic Times (2022), “*Capital investment outlay is being increased steeply by 33% to Rs 10 lakh crore. This will be 3.3% of GDP. Will be almost three times the outlay made in 2019”*
The majority of this capital investment (capital expenditure) which is on civil works is managed by offline or independent systems lying within the executing agencies. This is a massive problem as information is not exchanged between planning, executing, owning, financing, auditing and other authorities which leads to payment delays, poor quality of execution, poor financing and auditing amongst many other issues.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.digit.org/works/introducing-works.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
