+## Introduction
 
 The `Topo` object is the container for topologically sorting a list of nodes with non-circular interdependencies.
 
+## Example
+
+```js
+const Topo = require('@hapi/topo');
+
+const morning = new Topo();
+
+morning.add('Nap', { after: ['breakfast', 'prep'] });
+
+morning.add([
+    'Make toast',
+    'Pour juice'
+], { before: 'breakfast', group: 'prep' });
+
+morning.add('Eat breakfast', { group: 'breakfast' });
+
+morning.nodes;        // ['Make toast', 'Pour juice', 'Eat breakfast', 'Nap']
+```
+
+## Methods
+
 ### `new Topo()`
+
 Creates a new `Topo` object.
 
 ### `topo.add(nodes, [options])`
+
 Specifies an additional node or list of nodes to be topologically sorted where:
   - `nodes` - a mixed value or array of mixed values to be added as nodes to the topologically sorted list.
   - `options` - optional sorting information about the `nodes`:

 ### `topo.nodes`
