Six bakes
Enough for the engine to become yours
Not a hundred. The journal is not mining your notes for correlations: it identifies your constants — the friction factor of your mixer, the thermal time constant of your fridge, your own yeast K.
Six bakes are enough
This is not a photo album. It is system identification: your bakes adjust the engine's constants until it describes YOUR kitchen.
The calculator already knows your flour, your hydration, your schedule and your oven. The bake is described before it exists.
A photo, a note, and the measurement the tool asked you for. Fifteen seconds, not a form.
Your constants move toward what your bakes demonstrate, with shrinkage toward the prior while observations are few.
More your oven, your fridge and your mixer, less a general average. No fixed calculator can do that.

One measurement
Every entry is scored on what it can really teach the model. Instead of a twenty-field form, the tool tells you which single measurement would make the most difference next time.
Honest
They are accepted, and marked as such. A journal is not an album: a notebook full of half-entries adjusts no constant, and a calibration built on noise is worse than no calibration.
