Conflict log
- Large catalog makes it easy to compare mismatched products.
- Only one standard loose-photo seed estimate is calculator-enabled.
- photoResolutionPricing/slideResolutionPricing are sourced from ScanMyPhotos's individual pay-per-scan product pages, which publish different (usually lower) per-item prices than the seed estimates in priceRules above; treat them as independent, directly-cited figures rather than derived from the seed price.
- slideResolutionPricing.dpi4000 is recorded for data completeness but is not surfaced in results: slides/negatives are modeled as quote_required, so any order containing them yields a quote-required (ineligible) provider result before resolution variants are computed, and the slide tier never renders. The photoResolutionPricing.dpi600 tier is unaffected and does surface for photos-only orders.
