Worked example: market-day checklist
Use this example as a starting structure, then move into the app dashboard when you need saved products, repeated exports, or public ingredient pages for QR codes.
This page is intentionally practical: plain-English rules, a worked example, and a clear path into a generator instead of a long legal summary with no output.
