Methodology
How records are qualified, sourced, and kept honest.
Qualification rules
A record is qualified only when it has a concrete symptom, a pan context, a ranked cause list, a one-variable next step, a stop condition, and at least one source in our library. Records without sources are not published as facts.
Condition grades are green (normal / continue), yellow (fixable with one variable change, monitor), and red (stop using and assess). Red conditions are never downgraded by a quick fix.
Unknown handling
When a field cannot be verified — exact oven temperature, oil smoke point, pan history — it is listed explicitly as unknown instead of guessed. Unknown values are not zero and are never replaced by estimates.
Sources and dates
All sources were accessed on 2026-08-09 and are recorded in the source library with publisher, locator, and accessed date. Content is limited factual extraction with attribution, never reproduction of proprietary diagrams or bulk text.
