Gut Microbiome Reference Variance Simulator

Demonstrating why single commercial "healthy microbiome" baseline standards fail
Based on @TheEconomist Coverage
Ecosystem Setup
The Reference Fallacy: Commercial platforms score your gut health against an arbitrary "ideal standard". Applying the exact same intervention (e.g. High Prebiotic Fiber) yields high SCFA production in a Western profile, but can cause severe strain dominance and dysbiosis in another profile.
