Step 1: Bio-Origin Documentation

• Taxonomy: Record local name, Swahili name, and Tribal dialect.
• Soil Composition: Macro-photo of earth (Volcanic, sandy, or clay-based).
• Symbiosis: Map the micro-ecosystem (neighboring flora/fauna).

Step 2: Processing & Transformation

• Kinetic Analysis: Record exact hand movements (e.g., stirring direction).
• Thermal Profile: Document fuel source (Specific wood/chemical smoke profile).
• Fermentation: Log duration, vessel material (clay/wood), and ambient temp.

Step 3: Social & Ritual Context

• Demographics: Exclusive consumers (Elders, children, postpartum mothers).
• Lunar Mapping: Match harvest months to the lunar calendar.
• Taboos: Prohibited behaviors to preserve spiritual integrity.

Step 4: Identification & Taxonomy

• 4K Macro: Documentation of leaf veins, bark, and root nodes.
• Sensory Profile: Verified smell, bitterness, and thickness indicators.
• Collection Ethics: Ritual/prayer protocols for dawn/dusk harvesting.

Step 5: Pharmaceutical Preparation

• Extraction: Decoction (boiled), infusion, or cold-maceration.
• Formula: Ratio log (e.g., bark volume per liter of spring water).
• Active Life: Shelf-life data and burial/storage methods.

Step 6: Administration & Safety

• Dosage: Frequency and physiological toxicity indicators.
• Dietary Restrictions: Behaviors to avoid during treatment.
• Oral Record: Recorded explanation of the "disease spirit."

Step 7: Material Engineering

• Component Audit: Specific woods, animal sinew, natural resins.
• Property Strength: Flexibility, hardness, and termite resistance.
• Sequence: Order of assembly and "anchor" point identification.

Step 8: Operational Dynamics

• Motion Study: Tri-angle filming (Wide, Medium, Close-up).
• Force Analysis: Leverage, gravity, or centrifugal force study.
• Repair Logic: Documentation of maintenance rituals.
