Makeable isn't trying to become an ERP. There's no accounting module, no procurement suite, no machine scheduler hiding behind a menu you'll never open. It does one thing: turn your materials into an honest answer about what you can produce.
Today's production capacity, orders at risk, materials running low, and recent activity, in one screen you can check before your first coffee.
Every item you make: Chocolate Cake, Brownie Tray, Banana Bread, a candle, a tote bag. Whatever you actually sell.
Eggs, flour, butter, cocoa, wax, thread. Track what's on the shelf in the units you already think in.
The exact quantities each product consumes. Four eggs, 250g flour, 100g butter, 80g cocoa per cake. Set once, reused everywhere.
Makeable does the division for you: available material divided by material per unit, for every material, every product, every time your stock changes.
Log a real order and check it against current capacity instantly. Cannot fulfill, ten units short, bottleneck: eggs and butter.
The core calculation is deterministic, not predictive. For each material: maximum units supported equals available material divided by material required per unit. Capacity is the minimum across every material a product needs.
for each material: possible = floor(available ÷ required_per_unit) capacity = min(possible for all materials) // Eggs: 60 ÷ 4 = 15 // Flour: 8000 ÷ 250 = 32 // Butter: 1500 ÷ 100 = 15 // Cocoa: 2400 ÷ 80 = 30 capacity = min(15, 32, 15, 30) = 15
That transparency is the point. You can check Makeable's math on the back of a napkin, which is exactly what you were doing before. AI has a role later, turning "four eggs, 250g flour, 100g butter, 80g cocoa" typed in plain language into a saved recipe, but the number that decides whether you take the order stays a formula you can verify.
Makeable is the operating layer between what a maker has and what a maker can promise. Not another inventory app that stops at "here's what's in stock." The next question, the one you actually needed answered, was always: what does that let me make?
