ARCHIVE / DEVELOPMENT RECORD

What the burn showed.

A selected historical test, with its limits kept visible. Development evidence is not a finished-product rating.

READ THE RECORD

From version to next decision.

Each entry follows version, conditions, measured result, observation, interpretation, next change and outcome. An unrecorded step stays unrecorded. A new formula, fill, wick, wax or vessel needs evidence for that configuration before a result becomes a product claim.

HISTORICAL TEST / 22 SEPTEMBER 2026 / PARTIAL RECORD

01 / ROOM C / CD12

Version
Composition 01 development candle, 9.5% fragrance load, CD12 wick; converted test candle. Its exact production equivalence is not established.
Test conditions
Room C: 13 × 12 × 11 ft (1,716 ft³). A 3.4-hour burn after a recorded three-day cure. Candle stage and some environmental details were not recovered.
Measured result
Weight: 388.5 → 375.3 g; 13.2 g consumed; calculated burn rate 3.88 g/hour. Individual hot-throw checkpoints: 5, 7, 8.8 and 8.5 on the internal 1–10 scale. Exact intermediate checkpoint times were not recovered.
Observation
A liquid melt pool, centered flame and carbon cap were visible in the recovered photographs. No explicit soot or vessel-temperature result was recorded.
Interpretation
The scent strengthened during this burn in this room. One short, partially recovered test does not establish full-life burn time or validate the current production version.
Next change
No specific next configuration change is recorded for this test. Continue full-life and repeated production-configuration testing.
Outcome
Development evidence retained. No final pass or fail and no finished-product burn-life claim from this record.

What becomes a claim?

An individual R&D test belongs here. Repeated comparable results can inform the System’s relative Presence language. A Shop claim about a current candle requires validation of its current production configuration. The testing ledger remains the cumulative record; this page presents selected evidence with context.
