Rebrand the member knowledge base to Loopa and repair internal links
''Part of the [[Using the iOS app|Loopa iOS app]] guide.''
'''Food data quality''' is the quiet check that helps keep the numbers you log honest. When you pull up a food to log it, Loopa runs a one-time AI '''sanity check''' on its serving size and macros and shows you the result, and it gives you a way to '''report''' a food whose data looks wrong. You'll see both in the '''Portion''' editor on [[The Food log screen]] (the sheet that opens when you tap a search result). See [[Using the iOS app]] for the wider tour.
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== The AI check indicator ==
The first time anyone pulls up a given food, an AI checker judges whether its serving size looks typical and whether its calories and macros are plausible and roughly consistent. The Portion editor shows the verdict as a small indicator:
+ * '''AI-checked''' — the serving and macros look reasonable.
+ * '''AI: serving may be off''' — the serving size looks atypical.
+ * '''AI: data flagged''' — the numbers look implausible and are worth a second look.
* '''AI-checked''' means the serving and macros look reasonable.
* '''AI: serving may be off''' means the serving size looks atypical.
* '''AI: data flagged''' means the numbers look implausible and are worth a second look.
+ The check runs '''once per food''' and the result is cached, so it's instant afterward and never re-spends. It's advisory — it flags what's worth a closer look; it doesn't change the food's numbers on its own.

== Report incorrect data ==
+ If a food's data looks wrong, tap '''Report incorrect data''' in the Portion editor. A prompt asks '''"What looks wrong? (optional)"''' and notes that ''"An admin will review it and we'll re-check it with AI."'' Send it and you'll see '''"Thanks — flagged for review."'' Behind the scenes your report does two things at once: it '''re-checks the food with AI immediately''', and it '''escalates to your community's admins''' to review and resolve.

To keep it fair, there are limits: you can have only '''one open report per food''', and there's a '''daily cap''' on how many foods one person can flag.
