+Renderer Example
+================
+
+This example exists primarily to test the fallback non-TTY list renderer.
+
+Start up tests
+--------------
+
+Run the following commands to get up and running with this example.
+
+```bash
+# Should start up successfully
+lando poweroff
+lando start
+```
+
+Verification commands
+---------------------
+
+Run the following commands to validate things are rolling as they should.
+
+```bash
+# Should use the verbose renderer in a non-TTY environment
+lando start | grep "\[COMPLETED\]" | wc -l | grep 5
+```
+
+Destroy tests
+-------------
+
+Run the following commands to trash this app like nothing ever happened.
+
+```bash
+# Should be destroyed with success
+lando destroy -y
+lando poweroff
+```
