  "unique_value_proposition": "ChefAIQ derives recipe cost from live pantry prices rather than a stored snapshot, so updating one ingredient re-costs every recipe that uses it. It bridges count-priced ingredients to weight-based recipes using a per-piece weight, which is where most costing tools silently produce wrong numbers. Breakeven analysis follows Investopedia standards, separating operating costs from capital investment planning.",

      "title": "Recipe Cost Calculation",
      "description": "Food entrepreneurs input recipe ingredients, materials, labor, and packaging to get accurate cost per unit. The system recalculates automatically when ingredient prices change, because recipes read live pantry prices rather than storing their own."

      "title": "Count-to-Weight Ingredient Pricing",
      "description": "Ingredients bought by the piece but used by weight (eggs, bay leaves, sheets) are priced per piece, then converted using a per-piece weight. A PHP 10 pack of 20 bay leaves at 2g each costs PHP 0.25/g — without the bridge it would be mispriced by the weight factor."

  "methodology": {
    "costing_approach": "Weighted average costing that accounts for different recipe costs and yields while maintaining proportional scaling. The pantry is the single source of truth for price; recipes never store their own price snapshot.",
    "unit_handling": "Every quantity is stored twice — a display value in the user's unit (kg, L, pcs) and a canonical base value (g, ml, cm, count). All arithmetic uses the base unit, so mixed-unit calculations cannot drift.",
