gPizzalove is the house — the site, the journal, the community, the shared recipes. Fornello is the tool that lives inside it: the engine that does the calculations. The small oven in the big kitchen.
In practice: you open a Pizzalove account, and you work in Fornello. The engine can also be downloaded as a standalone file, with no account and no connection — it is the same code, checked by the same parity chain.
An A value comes from a codified standard — the AVPN disciplinare specifies the Marinara and the Margherita in grams, and it is reproduced as is. A B value is a documented professional consensus. A C value is vernacular: no published standard exists.
No Canadian miller publishes alveograph data. Fornello's Quebec flours are therefore estimated, marked C, and the tool tells you so every time one of them enters a blend. It is less flattering than a clean number, and it is the only honest thing to do.
Where the model is weak, it says so instead of guessing. A pan pizza bakes through a mechanism the semi-infinite contact model does not describe: the estimate comes out with its caveat attached.
