After carefully considering the nuances of ingredient synergy and flavor profiling, you have reached Step 3 of the Algorithmic Decision Process.
In this step, you will calculate the Critical Tastiness Index (CTI) of your dish.
CTI = (Tastiness^2 + Complexity)^1.5 * (Ingredient Count + 2)
Where:
Tastiness is the subjective measure of the dish's flavor profile.
Complexity is the number of ingredients used in the dish.
Ingredient Count is the number of unique ingredients used in the dish.
Using this formula, you will arrive at a CTI score, which will guide your decision to proceed with the next step or not.
