Acceptance Logic

Status values

  • auto-draft: structured estimate created, still not an operational completion state.
  • nutrition-reviewed: nutrition agent has reviewed the record and stands behind the durable estimate.
  • athlete-confirmed: athlete later confirmed ingredients, portions, or timing enough to materially tighten the record.
  • corrected-after-follow-up: durable record revised after clarification or correction.

Auto-accept conditions

Auto-accept should be limited to records where all of the following are true:

  • food identity confidence is high
  • portion confidence is at least moderate
  • nutrient lookup source is label-backed or athlete-text-backed
  • gluten and dairy status are not uncertain
  • undercount risk is low or clearly disclosed

Default operating stance

  • Most photo-only records should not auto-accept.
  • The default path for photo-only intake is nutrition agent review.
  • auto-draft may describe estimate quality, but it does not satisfy the four-write workflow.
  • The durable record plus the same-day nutrition log remain the completion gate.
