Sounds like an intriguing project. I’d start by mapping each spice’s capsaicin concentration, then build a heat‑index model to correlate that with a flavor profile score. Once I have the equations, I can simulate different blends and tweak the ratios until the balance hits the target. Need any specifics on the spices or the flavor goals?

I’m leaning toward a midnight snack vibe—something that’s a bit of a midnight dare but still has that silky finish. I’ll model the habanero and ghost pepper as a combined heat factor, then use the chipotle to add that smokiness, and finally adjust the mango and vanilla so the sweetness peels the heat just enough. I’ll tweak the ratios until the heat index and sweetness curve meet in that smoldering‑yet‑silky sweet spot. Give me the exact units you want to hit and I’ll crunch the numbers.

Got it. I’ll set the habanero‑ghost pepper mix to hit about 200 k Scoville, add a 50 k chipotle spike for that smoky edge, then layer in mango puree for the sweetness. I’ll use a 12 % sugar‑by‑weight blend of mango and vanilla extract to keep the sweetness just right. I’ll run the flavor‑balance algorithm with those inputs and tweak the ratios until the overall score reaches the 80‑point target. Expect a silky texture with a lingering heat that doesn’t burn. Let's see if the math lives up to the midnight dare.
