# Production documentation

A term used when buying bakery.

Written recipes, batch processes, and schedules a new owner can actually run.

A bakery's product walks out the door every morning at 5am, and if the recipes and batch timings live in the head baker's memory, the buyer is acquiring a person, not a process. Documented formulas, yields, and production schedules are what let a new owner survive a departure in the first year. Ask to see them in diligence, not to be told they exist, and weigh an undocumented operation's price accordingly.
