Four sub-lines
The catalogue, structured
Each sub-line targets a specific class of food production at domestic scale. The sub-lines share infrastructure (Wowlive shelving, 1646 cells, KEEP storage architecture) and shared power (Ryobi inverter ecosystem per GROW01-OG-spec). Customers can adopt any single sub-line or combine into the full microsystem.
Single-meal kits with full mise.
A complete meal in a 1646 cell. The customer adds proteins and aromatics; the studio provides the spices, technique cards, and serving guidance. Chicken Tagine is the canonical demonstration cell. Five additional cells pending: Mapo Tofu, Cacio e Pepe, Cochinita Pibil, Mujadara, Bún Chả.
Cell format · 1646 · ~$45–55 retail
Toggle-switch rice cooker meals.
Grain-cooker meals across four cuisine families. Light & Aromatic, Savory & Hearty, Spiced & Bold, Ancient & Alternative. Designed for the Black & Decker RC503 single-toggle cooker — the studio's canonical low-friction cooking surface.
Cell format · 1646 · ~$45–55 retail
iDOO-compatible herb starts and seed packs.
Twelve cells across culinary herbs, salad greens, regional cuisine themes, and specialty crops. Designed for the iDOO 12-pod hydroponic system (GROW01 standard). Includes off-grid power option via Ryobi inverter ecosystem.
Cell format · 1646 · ~$25–35 retail
Mason-jar mushroom cultivation.
Twelve strictly gourmet/medicinal mushroom cells. Blue Oyster, Pink Oyster, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, and others. Mason jar grain spawn → CVG bulk substrate → shoebox tote fruiting. Never psilocybin. Strictly culinary.
Cell format · 1646 · ~$28–75 retail
The integrated meal
When the sub-lines operate together
The microsystem is the studio's term for the integrated deployment of all four sub-lines in a single kitchen surface. A Wowlive 3-tier shelf holds the iDOO (GROW), the rice cooker (BDRC), the SPORE fruiting tote, and the customer's 1646 cell library. A single Ryobi inverter powers the whole stack off-grid.
Cross-practice example · BDRC Cell 09
The Mushroom Farro cell pairs explicitly with SPORE Cell 01 (Blue Oyster mushrooms at peak fruiting) and GROW Cell 03 (Italian Herbs for finishing thyme). A customer running the full microsystem cooks this cell entirely from studio infrastructure plus parmesan and olive oil. The catalogue is engineered for this kind of cross-reference — each cell can stand alone, but the microsystem produces meals the individual cells cannot.
The microsystem architecture is documented in MICROSYSTEM-thread-v0.1 with cross-practice integration patterns named for each combination. The off-grid power story is documented in GROW01-OG-spec-v0.2 — a $40 third-party Ryobi-compatible AC inverter (or the studio's Ryobi 800W inverter) runs the entire stack indefinitely with solar supplementation.
Research counterpart
STOCK's editorial sibling
Every build practice has a research counterpart in the studio's 2×2 catalogue architecture. STOCK's editorial sibling is MEAL — the research practice that produces consulting-grade reports on the contemporary food system, domestic-scale production, and culinary methodology.
