Recipes say “salt to taste” because nobody can measure that for you. Some decisions you have to taste yourself.

Nobody can calibrate your taste for you. A recipe refuses to give a number for salt because the right amount depends on the pan, the ingredients and the mouth doing the eating, and a lot of real decisions have the same gap in the instructions. How much to study, who to date, when to quit a team. Advice can narrow the range and cannot hand you the answer.

With the decision you keep crowdsourcing, stop collecting opinions. Try the smallest version this week, pay attention to how it actually felt, and let that count as data.
