Start with context, not false precision.

Gulpie uses population reference material to offer an editable starting point for beverage tracking. Individual needs vary with activity, heat, illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding, food, health status, and other factors.

Primary references

• National Academies Press: Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate — total-water Adequate Intake context and food/beverage interpretation.
• National Academies: Water reference values — life-stage reference table used by the product requirements.
• CDC: About Water and Healthier Drinks — variation across age, sex, pregnancy, breastfeeding, activity, climate, and illness.

What Gulpie intentionally does not infer

Gulpie does not use BMI, weight, weather, exercise, HealthKit, beverage nutrition, or a hydration sensor to produce a supposedly individualized prescription. The goal is editable at all times.
