## Core Value Proposition

AuditWaste exists because most food business owners don't know where their money disappears. The platform makes waste visible in euros, not just kilograms. Once the data flows, three things happen automatically:

1. The owner sees which products, shifts, and causes generate the most financial loss — and can fix them
2. The legally required Prevention Plan (PPDA) generates itself from real operational data
3. The business is inspection-ready at all times, without any additional administrative work

The ROI is the identity. Compliance is the consequence.

## AI Capabilities — Complete Platform

AuditWaste is not a tool with AI features added on top. AI is woven into every workflow:

### Voice Registration with AI
Staff speaks what they're discarding. Natural language processing identifies the product, estimates weight, and selects the likely cause — all in seconds. Hands-free operation designed for busy kitchens where staff can't touch screens.

### Camera with AI Recognition
Photograph the waste. Computer vision identifies the product category, suggests classification, and can detect approximate volume. Combined with voice for maximum speed.

### Integrated AI Assistant
Available inside the app for operational staff and outside the app for managers and owners. The assistant:
- Answers questions about waste patterns in natural language
- Suggests corrective actions based on detected trends
- Explains KPIs in context
- Helps staff navigate the app
- Available 24/7

### Predictive Presets
AI learns the patterns of each establishment: which products are discarded at which times, by which shifts. It pre-fills the most likely entry for each context, reducing registration to a single confirmation tap.

### Automatic Prevention Plan (PPDA)
The legally required plan is generated and updated every 90 days using the establishment's real operational data. No consultants needed. The plan includes:
- Waste analysis by category, cause, and destination
- Trend analysis and projections
- Corrective actions with measurable targets
- Compliance scoring

### Demand Prediction
AI forecasts waste volumes based on historical patterns, day of week, season, and menu. Helps procurement teams optimize purchasing and reduce overproduction.

### Smart Alerts
AI detects anomalous waste spikes (>15% above baseline) and alerts managers before small problems become expensive ones.

### Recipe Cost Analysis (Escandallos IA)
AI-powered recipe management that calculates theoretical vs actual yields, identifies waste-intensive recipes, and suggests optimization.

## Ley 1/2025 — Spanish Food Waste Prevention Law

### Key Facts
- Full name: Ley 1/2025, de 20 de marzo, de prevencion de las perdidas y el desperdicio alimentario
- BOE reference: BOE-A-2025-6597
- Publication: April 2, 2025
- Art. 6 (hierarchy of surplus management) in force: April 2, 2026
- Data retention requirement: 5 years minimum

### Obligations by Business Size

| Segment | Criteria | PPDA Required | Hierarchy | Notes |
|---------|----------|---------------|-----------|-------|
| Group 1 | <10 employees AND <2M EUR | No | No | Only doggy bag |
| Group 2 | >10 employees OR >2M EUR, but <=1,300 m2 | No | Yes (from Apr 2026) | Must demonstrate compliance |
| Group 3 | >1,300 m2 useful surface | Yes | Yes | Full obligations |

### Sanctions
- Minor: 0 - 2,000 EUR
- Serious: 2,001 - 60,000 EUR
- Very serious: 60,001 - 500,000 EUR

### Important Legal Clarification
The obligation to "register waste" was removed during Senate deliberations. It does NOT appear in the final text of the law. What IS required is:
- For Group 3: A Prevention Plan (PPDA) that implicitly requires data collection
- For Group 2: Demonstrating compliance with the hierarchy of surplus management

AuditWaste's argument: without operational data, you cannot create a credible PPDA, you cannot demonstrate the hierarchy to an inspector, and you cannot make decisions that reduce waste and save money.
