+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Validator checks that accept parameters can be configured with a dictionary that is passed as the

+Parametrization of Checks
+=========================
+
+If required, checks can be parametrized by passing parameters as keyword arguments to the validator
+check constructor. for this purpose, the validator check class must be a *frozen dataclass*. This
+can be achieved by decorating the class with `@dataclass(frozen=True)` from the *dataclasses*
+module.
+
+The parameters can then be specified as dataclass members. The `SigmaValidator` instance will pass
+the parameters to the validator check constructor as keyword arguments.
