-This sample demonstrates how to use Temporal for authoring a Nexus service and call it from a workflow.
+This sample demonstrates how to author a Nexus service and call it from a Workflow. It intentionally
+contrasts synchronous and asynchronous Nexus operations:
 
-### Instructions
+* `Echo` uses `OperationHandler.Sync` because it is a short, bounded, in-memory operation with no
+  external calls or side effects.
+* `SayHello` is backed by a Workflow that waits on a durable 15-second timer before returning. The
+  delay intentionally exceeds the 10-second synchronous Nexus request deadline.
+
+Use `OperationHandler.Sync` only for highly reliable, low-latency, bounded operations that complete
+well within that short request window. Use an asynchronous operation when latency or 
+availability is uncertain, the work might exceed the handler deadline, or execution depends on a potentially
+unreliable service or database.
+
+An asynchronous handler must still initiate or attach to the underlying work and return an operation
+token within the request deadline. The work can continue afterward, and the caller retrieves its
+eventual result through the operation handle. In this sample, that work is a Workflow.
+
+## Instructions
 
 To run, first see [README.md](../../README.md) for prerequisites such as starting the Temporal server.
