Conflict log
- Only direct capture.com pricing is modeled here; Sam's Club and other retail/member-channel offers are intentionally excluded.
- Capture's higher-DPI photo tiers (600/1200 DPI) are recorded in photoResolutionPricing but are not surfaced by the calculator: photos are priced via a base_plus_increment rule, which the resolution engine treats as structurally coupled and skips for absolute-mode tiers. The FHD/UHD video tiers in videoResolutionPricing do surface.
- Capture checkout offers $12.49 return shipping or $24.98 two-way shipping with a prepaid send-in label. The calculator uses the default $12.49 return-shipping option; send-in postage is separate.
