How the call works

Context first. Catalog second. Commission never decides.

Real inventory. Every result is a published Mealovate recipe with a complete cooking path and finished-dish image.

Explainable ranking. Recipe time, stated difficulty, equipment list, flavor language, and your saved hard boundaries determine fit.

Separate advertising. A matched sponsor may appear after the decision, clearly labeled. It cannot buy the winning position.
