# Gate 0 — precedent

**result:** OPEN

Strong partial precedents exist for:
- multi-producer food hubs;
- weekly concentrated pickup;
- producer identity and provenance;
- multi-maker confectionery retail;
- artisanal pick-and-mix.

No exact precedent has yet been documented for the full combination:
specialized confectionery nodes + shared pick-and-mix + hard two-person cap + limited weekly selling + inter-node batch exchange + product-spread map.

Rule: no novelty claim.
