Do not ever believe the BIR hype rubbish that you can't cook half batches or smaller of Base Gravy.  Of course you can.  It was a myth.  You can scale a Base Gravy down to a small pot with 1 large onion for a double serve curry if you want to.

This is what I sent to Syed et al. (Extract from my Word document)

I hope Syed doesn't use it as the basis for a book or anything. In my opinion, your quantities are significantly different to what Syed used in the video. That's assuming these quantities are for the same size batch that he prepared. Phil's list of ingredients is also incorrect by the normal convention of using level spoon measures but at least Phil states the correct measures (rounded, heaped or whatever) under the method. If it was an exam question to write up what can be seen in the video, you would both fail!

Well, I am sure that both Livo and I will be delighted to use your professional version in preference to our very amateurish ones, George, just as soon as you post it.

That is useful information, Donald.  I will go and read his comments to his own base and see what he says about quantities for a full-size version.  Should all BIR chefs have to demonstrate competence in the use of Excel before being allowed to practice ?!
