What kinds of references actually support this kind of product.
The point of a source page is not to look academic. It is to make the site’s reasoning inspectable and to show what job each kind of reference is doing.
Starter behavior references
These support the site’s interpretation of feed rhythm, peak timing, rise speed, and predictable activity patterns.
Fermentation timing references
These support the idea that room temperature, hydration, and dough feel matter more than borrowed timelines.
Failure diagnosis references
These help keep loaf troubleshooting narrower when underproof, overextension, or weak-starter cases overlap.
Correction notes
Real usage can expose weaknesses in routes and wording. A maintained source posture includes correction and revision, not just initial references.
What the source page prevents
It prevents the site from leaning too hard on vibes and folklore alone. The source posture keeps the product narrower and easier to review.
What a a serious review should see
A a serious review should see that references exist to constrain the product, not to decorate it with borrowed authority.
