+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    well_path : str
+            The file system path to a well directory. The path should end with the well folder,
+            but it does not need to include a trailing separator.

+    str
+            The path to the experiment directory, which is assumed to be two levels above the well directory.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    - This function expects the well directory to be organized such that the experiment directory is
+      two levels above it in the file system hierarchy.
+    - If the input path does not end with a file separator (`os.sep`), one is appended before processing.
+
+    Example

+    ----------
+    pos_path : str, optional

+    dict
+            A dictionary containing the following metadata:
+            - `"pos_path"`: The path to the position directory (or `None` if not provided).
+            - `"position"`: The same as `pos_path`.

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    - At least one of `pos_path` or `well_path` must be provided.
