The problem these guides can't solve
A guide helps when you are stuck. It cannot tell you the thing your brother mentioned in April, or stop three people buying the same sweater. Bodhi is for that part: forward the message where somebody said what they wanted, and it lands on the right person's list — shared with the family, hidden from them.
