Does the format a recipe is presented in affect how often you actually return to it?

Thinking about what makes a recipe repeatable, and I keep coming back to a question about documentation rather than the dish itself. A well-structured recipe with clear attribution and a reliable method sitting at a stable source is one thing. A dish you know well enough to reconstruct from memory is another. My suspicion is that these two situations produce different repeat-use patterns, but I'm not certain which direction the effect runs. Does a clearly documented method lower the friction enough to actually increase how often someone returns to a dish, or does familiarity eventually make the documentation irrelevant, maybe even unnecessary? And does that calculus change depending on the complexity of the recipe? A straightforward potato preparation might not need much scaffolding after the second or third time, but something with more moving parts could depend on that external reference much longer. Curious whether people find the format of a recipe matters to its long-term usefulness, or whether the dish earns its place through repetition regardless of how it's written down.
