Why the Game Plan recipes are still marked DRAFT

A release gate is not a disclaimer. What a cook-test has to prove before a recipe is sold.

Twelve recipes, five review rounds, a printable edition ready to sell — and every card still says draft / not cook-tested. That is not a hedge; it is house rule 02.

A cook-test has to prove four things before the label comes off: that the times and yields hold in a real kitchen, that the internal temperatures match the safety guide, that the allergen notes cover what the ingredient labels actually say, and that a duplex test sheet prints and flips correctly. Until then the twelve recipe pages stay free, and the paid edition is the printable card set.

This post is a placeholder; the cook-test log goes here when it exists.
