If daylight is “Under 15 minutes”
B-001Then add Vitamin D3 25µg

GB register 150, 151, 158, 350 · “Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones”
Rule set v0.1.0 · 21 rules · draft
What the product is allowed to say.
Every ingredient in every blend comes from one of these rules. They are written in plain language on purpose, because the person who has to sign them is a nutritionist, not an engineer.
Can this go live?
3 of 4 checks passed
Every rule cites an authorised claim
A rule that points at wording the register does not contain would put an unlawful claim in front of a customer. The build fails rather than letting that happen, so this can never silently regress.
Every rule can explain itself
Every ingredient in a blend carries an approved explanation of why it is there. The explanation is what earns it a place, so the rule and its wording ship together.
Safety tests green
Asserts that under-18s are turned away, that anticoagulants and pregnancy stop the sale, and that no recommendation rule can ever override an exclusion. Any failure blocks release. There is no override.
Signed by a qualified reviewer
A registered nutritionist has to put their name and their professional indemnity behind these doses. Nobody at Trace is qualified to do that, including whoever wrote them. Until this is signed the engine refuses to serve a recommendation to anyone.
One thing is stopping launch
Everything the software can check for itself is green. What is missing is a person.
A registered nutritionist needs to read these 21 rules and sign them. Until they do, the engine refuses to give anyone a recommendation. That refusal is a hard stop in the code with a test proving it works, not a policy someone could wave through. Hiring that reviewer is the single highest-priority action in the business.
Read as: if the customer said this, then put this in their blend at this dose, because of this, backed by this claim from the government register.

What we are asking a nutritionist to check
Worth being precise about, because it is a real professional undertaking and the scope should be clear before anyone agrees to it.
Is the dose right for the trigger?
Not whether it is safe, because the upper-limit check handles that. Whether 300mg of magnesium is a sensible answer to "energy drops after lunch", or whether it should be more, less, or nothing at all.
Is the reasoning honest?
Each rule states what the customer said that put an ingredient in their blend. That sentence is shown to them verbatim. It has to be true and it has to be plain.
Does the claim actually fit?
The wording is legally usable, and that is already verified. The question is whether citing it here is reasonable, or whether it is a technically-permitted claim being stretched.
What is missing?
The rules only cover what someone thought to write. Gaps are invisible until a clinician looks for them.
Rules, doses and claim mappings are draft. The author cannot approve their own work. Sign-off requires a named reviewer who did not write them, and their decision is recorded against the version. Rollback to a previously approved set is one action and does not touch code.
