Why does Sicilian Whiskey use a backlog system?

To protect the integrity of the manual ritual. The backlog acts as a shield that prevents saturation of the Atelier, ensuring that each bottle receives the necessary attention without wear and tear on the team.

What is the exact formula for dynamic pricing?

The value of the verified bottle is calculated by the function: Base Price * 1.01^Days of Backlog. Each waiting day recorded in Ledger increases the value by a compound 1%.

What is meant by 'Nominal Capacity'?

It is the insurmountable physical limit of 10 units produced and shipped per day. This parameter defines the backlog erosion rate in the Ledger.

Can the price go down if no one buys?

Yes. The system reduces the backlog by one day every 24 working hours. If no new orders come in, the price naturally decreases towards the base, reflecting real availability.

Can I 'skip' the backlog queue?

The only certified way is by participating in a physical experience (Tasting or BBQ). The 'Backlog Skip Protocol' allows immediate on-site purchasing from reserve stock.

What happens to my order if the backlog increases after purchase?

Nothing. The price is crystallized at the time of the fiscal handshake. If the value rises while you wait, your verified bottle gains live value before it is even delivered.

How is the shipping date communicated?

Upon issuing the block in Ledger, you receive an 'Oracle Mail' with the exact departure date of the verified bottle, calculated on your position in the queue.

Does the backlog also influence experiences?

No. Experiences are 'Off-Chain' events. Their price is fixed and does not contribute to the generation of the backlog for physical bottles.

Why is the backlog called the 'Craftsman's Shield'?

Because it prevents the industrial logic of maximization. Sicilian Whiskey chooses slowness as a parameter of quality and respect for the individual.

Is there a maximum limit of backlog days?

Technically no, but the Oracle monitors the nodes. If the wait exceeds critical parameters, the system can temporarily suspend new allocations to rebalance the Atelier.

Is the 1.01^x formula public?

Yes. Algorithmic transparency is part of the SSOT protocol. Anyone can verify the correctness of the price by consulting the blocks in the Ledger.

Do B2B orders affect the backlog of private individuals?

We apply the 50:1 rule. A box of 50 minibar flasks occupies just one slot of nominal capacity, minimizing the impact of bulk orders on the retail queue.

What happens if I cancel a queued order?

The slot is freed and the global backlog instantly decreases for all subsequent users, reducing the live dynamic price proportionally.

Is waiting in line considered 'Aging'?

In a broad sense, yes. The whiskey continues its molecular stabilization in the Atelier until the exact day of bottling certified by your PIN.

Does the backlog also apply to Oakens?

Oakens float in dynamic parity with the backlog: if the price of whiskey rises, the purchasing power of your Oakens increases to maintain the Vault's balance.

How is priority managed in case of simultaneous orders?

Precedence is defined by the payment validation timestamp in the Ledger (First-In, First-Out).

Is the backlog system active 24/7?

The oracular calculation is always active, but the physical erosion of the queue (10 btg/day) follows the operational calendar of the Caltagirone Atelier.

Can I monitor my position in the queue?

Yes, within the 'Logistics Status' section of your Vault, you can view the days remaining and the verified bottle's preparation status.

Does the backlog include courier shipping times?

No. The backlog counts the days until the physical exit from the Atelier. Transit times (24/48h for Italy) begin after handshake with the courier.

Who designed the Backlog algorithm?

It is a creation of the Malfa Management, inspired by the principles of flow physics and regenerative economics.
