 ## Intent
+
 Define a factory of immutable content with separated builder and factory interfaces.
 
+## Explanation
+
+Real-world example
+
+> Imagine a magical weapon factory that can create any type of weapon wished for. When the factory
+> is unboxed, the master recites the weapon types needed to prepare it. After that, any of those
+> weapon types can be summoned in an instant. 
+
+In plain words
+
+> Factory kit is a configurable object builder.
+
+**Programmatic Example**
+
+Let's first define the simple `Weapon` hierarchy.
+
+```java
+public interface Weapon {
+}
+
+public enum WeaponType {
+    SWORD,
+    AXE,
+    BOW,
+    SPEAR
+}
+
+public class Sword implements Weapon {
+    @Override
+    public String toString() {
+        return "Sword";
+    }
+}
+
+// Axe, Bow, and Spear are defined similarly
+```
+
+Next, we define a functional interface that allows adding a builder with a name to the factory.
+
+```java
+public interface Builder {
+  void add(WeaponType name, Supplier<Weapon> supplier);
+}
+```
+
+The meat of the example is the `WeaponFactory` interface that effectively implements the factory
+kit pattern. The method `#factory` is used to configure the factory with the classes it needs to
+be able to construct. The method `#create` is then used to create object instances.
+
+```java
+public interface WeaponFactory {
+
+  static WeaponFactory factory(Consumer<Builder> consumer) {
+      var map = new HashMap<WeaponType, Supplier<Weapon>>();
+      consumer.accept(map::put);
+      return name -> map.get(name).get();
+  }
+    
+  Weapon create(WeaponType name);
+}
+```
+
+Now, we can show how `WeaponFactory` can be used.
+
+```java
+var factory = WeaponFactory.factory(builder -> {
+  builder.add(WeaponType.SWORD, Sword::new);
+  builder.add(WeaponType.AXE, Axe::new);
+  builder.add(WeaponType.SPEAR, Spear::new);
+  builder.add(WeaponType.BOW, Bow::new);
+});
+var list = new ArrayList<Weapon>();
+list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.AXE));
+list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.SPEAR));
+list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.SWORD));
+list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.BOW));
+list.stream().forEach(weapon -> LOGGER.info("{}", weapon.toString()));
+```
+
+Here is the console output when the example is run.
+
+```

 ## Applicability
+
 Use the Factory Kit pattern when
 
-* a class can't anticipate the class of objects it must create
-* you just want a new instance of a custom builder instead of the global one
-* you explicitly want to define types of objects, that factory can build
-* you want a separated builder and creator interface
+* The factory class can't anticipate the types of objects it must create
+* A new instance of a custom builder is needed instead of a global one
+* The types of objects that the factory can build need to be defined outside the class
+* The builder and creator interfaces need to be separated
