+#### Local network test strategy
+Testing using a custom network (e.g. dev testing or CI) overrides the default networks, requiring a few extra steps.
+
+##### 1. Create your network
+- JSON-RPC endpoint accessible from script run location.
+- Governance contract (e.g. your ERC20 contract) deployed and populated with test data.
+- Multicall contract deployed (used by snapshot to aggregate data retrieval calls).
+
+##### 2. Update your networks file (e.g. `network/local.json`)
+- `multicall`; Multicall contract address on your network.
+- `chainId`; Chain Id matching that of your created network.
+- `rpc`; connection details for your JSON-RPC endpoint.
+
+##### 3. Update your Strategy test data (e.g. `example.json`)
+- `strategy` `address`; governance contract address from deployment on your network.
+- `addresses`; test accounts created earlier when creating your network.
+- `snapshot`; to an appropriate block height for your network.
+
+##### 4. Test
+```bash
+# Test default strategy (erc20-balance-of) using local.json networks file
+npm run test --network=../../network/local.json
+```
+
