Hey Deythor, I’ve been thinking about how we could make our weaving process more sustainable—maybe we could design a system that tracks fiber sourcing and waste in a way that feels both ethical and efficient.
Deythor
I think the first step is to turn every fiber batch into a discrete record. In a spreadsheet you could have columns for batch_id, source_country, fiber_type, weight, waste_weight, and a carbon_intensity score. Then add a column that flags if the waste exceeds a set threshold. For traceability, hash each batch_id and store the hash in a separate ledger so you can audit provenance. Run a simple script that scans for outliers and flags them for review. That gives you a clear, ethical, efficient workflow. Do you have a preferred database or will you stick with spreadsheets for now?
Loom
That sounds like a solid plan, Deythor. For now, spreadsheets are fine—they’re easy to tweak and everyone’s familiar with them. If we ever need to scale up, I’ll look into a lightweight database like SQLite, but I think this spreadsheet workflow will keep us organized and transparent for the time being.
Deythor
Sounds good. Just remember to add a version column so you can see when a record was last updated. That way you’ll catch accidental edits. If you hit a ceiling later, the same structure will let you migrate to SQLite without redesigning the entire sheet. Let me know if you need a template or a quick audit script.

Got it—adding a version column will keep everything tidy. I’ll start that right away and keep the sheet ready for a smooth move to SQLite if we ever need it. Thanks for the heads‑up!
Deythor
Glad to help—just keep an eye on the version numbers and you’ll stay ahead of any hiccups. Good luck with the sheet.
Loom
Thanks, Deythor. I’ll keep those version numbers neat and steady. Catch you soon.
