Conflict log
- Calculator models ScanDigital's standard photo/slide/negative base scan price, video tape price for the formats listed on the page, film reel per-foot price, audio cassette price, and Ground round-trip shipping.
- Special media photography at $1.29 per scan, 35mm film reels, Expert/Premium resolution selection behavior, USB/hard-drive output pricing, Express shipping, Secure Shipping Kit, and rush surcharge are documented but not modeled as separate calculator totals.
- Ground round-trip shipping is modeled as the lowest published mail-in option; Express and Secure Shipping Kit are captured as fulfillment price notes.
- Slides/negatives resolution is only labeled in MP (12MP/24MP) on the standard-photos-negatives-slides page, never in an explicit DPI number, so no slideResolutionPricing tier could be recorded.
