I need your help.
I’m implementing something in Chef and cannot come up with a good term for it. It’s the ability to scale a recipe (double, triple, halve, etc.). I have it implemented in such a way that you basically get a temporary, non-editable, non-savable version of the recipe with the amounts changed as desired.
Before implementing it, I referred to them as Scaled Recipes, but now that the framework is in place for more such temporary modifications I’ve taken to referring to them as Virtual Recipes. I think that would confuse some people, am I right? Do any of you have any other suggestions? If so, please leave comments or email me (ej@ejinnovations.com).

You should call them virtual buckets of synergy. People will get what’s going on.
