What a recipe is

A real case, published by a company, a repository or a verifiable outlet, turned into instructions you can follow today. Plus a guided mode: it asks about your business, builds your prompt and walks you through one step at a time.

How it is verified

Every recipe carries its original source with a link and a verification date. Figures are quoted exactly as the source publishes them; if the source gives no numbers, neither does the recipe. Never two recipes about the same thing.
