How will be the quantification of the hydrated products take place. For example, two cases: If GGBS is used Ca-SH products will be obtained and Na-SH for flyash based geopolymer.
I’m sorry but there is nothing about geopolymer technology in your sentence. There aren’t hydraulic reactions inside Geopolymerization.
AlkalI activated materials aren’t polymers, Geopolymers are mineral polymers so AAMs cannot be GP.
It’s very important to know that AAMs are only alkaline and use user hostile pH activators (too low molar ratio like metasilicate that means corrosive medium). While GP can be obtained in alkaline (with precise and user friendly molar ratio, not corrosive but only irritant like the classification of OPC or limes) or acidic media (but these expensive reagent are used for Hi-Tech applications surely not for concrete market).

Hi,
Alex Reggiani's answer is the good one. You must learn the polymer chemistry, it is not a hydrate or an alcali activated dirt. Forget everything you know about OPC, it does not apply to geopolymers.
There is the book on geopolymer chemistry (5th edition + tutorials) too: https://www.geopolymer.org/shop/product/geopolymer-for-newcomers/
There is a 2.5 hours video on Geopolymer Processing. It reveals everything. This is the know-how you are looking for. It is a pragmatic approach for technicians and engineers. It details how to select raw materials, how to calculate a formula, and a description of the process method for optimal results. Chapter 21 of the book is also covering these issues.
Best regards,
