Pick the Right Tool for the Job

Use the compatibility checker when you already know the ingredients you want to combine. Use the routine builder when you need a starting structure. Use the analyzer when you want context on one ingredient before you buy a product.

The simplest path is usually the best one: solve one routine question at a time instead of bouncing between every tool in one session.
