- The recipe is essential - Recipes are tested to assure replicability of later efforts- No particular expertise; knowing how to cook increases success- Recipe notes the quantity and nature of “parts” needed- Recipes produce standard products- Certainty of same results every time

- Formulae are critical and necessary- Sending one rocket increases assurance that next will be ok- High level of expertise in many specialized fields & coordination- Separate into parts and then coordinate- Rockets similar in many critical ways- High degree of certainty of outcome

- Formulae have only a limited application- Raising one child gives no assurance of success with the next- Expertise can help but is not sufficient, relationships are key- Can’t separate parts from the whole- Every child is unique- Uncertainty of outcome remains
