-There are three ways to verify a network in FINN functionally. These ways of verification can be applied in different stages of the network inside FINN. All can be accessed using the execution function in module :py:mod:`finn.core.onnx_exec`. The execution happens in most cases node by node, which supports networks that have a mixture of standard ONNX nodes, custom nodes and HLS custom nodes. Because the single node can be executed using one of the following methods.
+When the network is transformed it is important to verify the functionality to make sure the transformation did not change the behaviour of the model.
