Those aren't things I'd put much weight on. Look through the wiki page: https://humanmicrobiome.info/fmt/

But if it floats, it has more fat than it should have, this is evidence of intestinal malabsorption. I suffer from that and I am not healthy.
I'll check your wiki later, thanks

The fat floats on the water. Now the question is whether these faeces float because of fat, or because of the article you mention. I will read it later.

Check Sky Curtis' book on doing fecal transplants. All the bloodwork and stool testing is listed. That should help you out and suffice.

Books are usually not good citations. There are no standards for books. Anyone can write anything they want. There are plenty of degree-holders who publish misinformation in books. Particularly when it comes to something like FMT which is in the research phase, you should go directly to the research.
The wiki page on FMT https://humanmicrobiome.info/fmt/ has the most up-to-date, scientifically-backed information. Did you review it and decide the book was a better source of information? If so, why?
Based on what?
R3 Evidence-based
Based on her success treating her son who had UC and many others. She was part of Designer Shit Documentary. Saffron Cassady also cured herself with FMT following the Sky Curtis guidelines. Maybe books aren't good' citations' but neither are 'opinions'.

For those that might be interested in reading how a mother cured her son's UC.

It sounds like you're here to sell a book. Ignoring valid questions while equating scientific citations with "opinions" will earn you a ban. Please read the rules before participating here.
You are linking to someone's personal story that is both behind a paywall, and currently not even for sale. There is no way for us to assess any claims made, so it is not a valid citation.
My statement remains valid and unaddressed by you.
It's fine (and encouraged) for them to share their experiences. That doesn't make either of them an authority on the subject, nor a valid citation for claims.

Hello good day I have a possible donor (my partner), but his stools are a bit soft and have a bit of a bad smell and he eats meats meats, coffee and eggs without any fruit or vegetables, but he is a person who seems "healthy" compared to most people. What should I do?thank you

It's probably more risky and less likely to be effective. And given that your criteria is "he is a person who seems "healthy" compared to most people", I think you don't know what you're doing and are likely to make yourself worse.

What is the correct weekly frequency of bowel movements?
By she looks healthier than most I mean she is not obese, has no autoimmune diseases, tolerates physical exercise, has no swollen gums, etc.

No such thing; it's experimental and varies.
I know what you mean. That's not how you screen stool donors. You're going to get yourself harmed.
