Rigorous but understandable. Each module documents the question we're answering, the spec we're holding to, and what we've actually measured.
Fluid shifts in the body during confinement dampen retronasal aroma and bias perception toward bitter. We compensate at the formulation stage — brighter origin, slightly higher acidity, fewer roast-derived bitters.
Multi-layer foil engineered to hold cocoa butter bloom flat across rapid temperature and pressure swings. V3 heat seals failed at 12 psi differential; V4 moves to ultrasonic welds.
Free water is the enemy. We track aw across a 30-day saturation envelope. Anything above 0.5 invites microbial risk and texture collapse.
Hexagonal scoring delivers six equal portions along a predictable break. The score depth is the variable that determines whether you get a clean snap or a debris cloud.
Validation against accelerated aging at 35°C and 75% RH, plus vibration profiles modeled on launch and analog-habitat handling. Failure modes are bloom, off-aromas, and seal creep.
