 - `interpret`, `decide` _and related input and output types / interfaces_ are
   public and top-level for use in unit tests (often unit tests will `open` the
   `module Fold` to use `initial` and `fold`)
 
+In some cases, where surfacing the state in some way makes sense (it doesn't always; see [CQRS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/patterns/cqrs)), you'll have a:
+
+```fsharp
+module Queries =
+
+    type XzyInfo = { ... }
+
+    let renderXyz (s: State): XzyInfo =
+        { ... }
+```
+
+The above functions can all be unit tested directly. All other tests should use the `Service` with a `MemoryStore` via the `member`s on that:
+
 ```fsharp
 type Service internal (resolve: Id -> Equinox.Decider<Events.Event, Fold.State) = ...`
 
     member _.Execute(id, command): Async<unit> =
         let decider = resolve id

     member _.Decide(id, inputs): Async<Decision> =
