Every kit is composed across the four STOCK sub-lines so the customer always receives all four temporal patterns — immediate BDRC, active COOK, sustained GROW, delayed SPORE. The six sizes map onto Canada Post flat-rate box dimensions; freight is included in the kit price.

Subscription programs
Twelve-month curation themes
Subscription kits aren't generic — they follow themed 12-month curation programs. The customer picks a program; each month's kit aligns with that program's arc. Customers never receive the same cell twice in a 12-month rotation.

Status note · MEAL kits are launching
As of catalogue v0.6, MEAL kits are in active design. BDRC has 16 live cells available to draw from immediately. COOK has 1 live cell with 4 queued for v0.5. GROW and SPORE are in design and will activate as those sub-lines ship. The first MEAL kit shippable today using only live inventory is a BDRC-only Solo Kit ($55) or an MEAL-A07 Starter Box ($48). Full multi-practice kits ship as STOCK's catalogue matures.
How the kits get composed
The four temporal patterns
Every MEAL kit composes across the four STOCK sub-lines because each one contributes a different temporal pattern to the customer's cooking month:
- BDRC — immediate: cook tonight, rice cooker handles it
- COOK — active: cook this weekend, an evening of attention
- GROW — sustained: harvest over weeks from the iDOO hydroponic
- SPORE — delayed: cultivate and harvest mushrooms 2-4 weeks after delivery
A monthly kit gives the customer all four patterns at once. That's the meaningful subscription product — not just a bundled discount, but a designed cooking rhythm. BDRC anchors every kit (deepest live catalogue, easiest cooking); COOK adds complexity; GROW and SPORE rotate seasonally with the year.
