+## Delegation Algorithm
+
+Run the delegation algorithm from the command line of the running application:
+
+Install ts-node:
+
+```
+npm install -g ts-node
+```
+
+Run the algorithm:
+
+```
+ts-node /delegation-algorithm/src/index.ts
+```
+
+The `applicationdashboardtable` should be populated with the review data.
