Why Notion falls short here

Documentation systems are mostly structure: the right databases, the right relations, the right template bodies, repeated consistently for months.

How we handle it

Recipes build that structure with real block trees (headings, toggles, callouts, synced blocks, column lists) so the workspace arrives already written rather than empty and hopeful. Personal lesson outlines and conference-preparation notes stay in local widgets; they do not create student records, submit research, or replace shared academic systems.
