17    lede: 'Vinius publishes itself as a wine operating system: lot-based inventory, a pricing engine, live wine cards, supplier reordering and governed AI, for restaurants, hospitality groups, sommeliers and collectors. That is a genuine overlap with Aivin\u2019s Record, and in two places Vinius does things Aivin does not do at all. The difference is what each system does with the record once it exists.',
18    theirs: ['Lot-based inventory, with every movement and pour recorded as it happens', 'A pricing engine that applies markup, rounding and tax across the list and shows the margin behind each price', 'Wine cards generated from live inventory, for print or tablet', 'Supplier reordering', 'Organization defaults with site-level overrides, for groups running several properties'],
19    gap: ['In the product information reviewed we did not find a per-lot valuation working \u2014 the named adjustments, their multipliers and the order they apply in', 'We did not find a published evidence grade on a market reference, and no stated threshold below which a figure will not be certified', 'We did not find a published effective-dated snapshot that reproduces a valuation as at a date rather than recomputing it today', 'We did not find a published reconciliation between two valuations that attributes the difference to depletion, market movement, condition edits and additions', 'We did not find published material about an appraiser of record, or a signing permission a credentialed appraiser holds alone'],
20    ours: 'Aivin\u2019s difference is not a longer feature list \u2014 it is that every figure opens its working, and that Aivin will not mark a cellar appraiser-review ready when the evidence is too thin. Six bases of value per lot with each adjustment named, an evidence grade on every market reference, snapshots that reproduce, a reconciliation bridge between two valuations, and a document only a credentialed appraiser can sign. On the service side, coverage before pairing: what tonight\u2019s bins cannot cover at your cover count, stated before anyone starts.',
21    buyThat: 'If your problem is pricing the list, publishing wine cards and reordering from suppliers, Vinius does those and Aivin does not. Aivin has no pricing engine and no ordering, and it is not going to grow one.',

Aivin’s own working method values a documented chain at up to 12% of adjusted market', 'We did not find a published service-coverage answer in the product information reviewed'],
31    ours: 'Where a connection is implemented, Aivin can read the relevant bin locations and counts while leaving the inventory system in place. Current availability is stated on the status page. What it adds is the valuation layer and the service layer: six bases of value with the working on every lot, and coverage before service at tonight\u2019s cover count.',
32    buyThat: 'If what you need is ordering, receiving, par levels and variance, buy BinWise and do not buy Aivin. Aivin is not an inventory system and will not become one.',

42    ours: 'Aivin reads lots, bins, counts and costs from Backbar. It adds what a beverage system has no reason to carry: a market reference per lot, six bases of value, an appraisal document, and the coverage answer before service.',

50    lede: 'An appraisal is a professional judgment and no software substitutes for one — including this one. What a firm currently spends two to 

50six weeks doing is building the schedule: the references, the multipliers, the comparables by venue and date. Aivin assembles that, so the appraiser arrives at the judgment with the evidence already built.',

53    ours: 'Aivin produces the schedule, the comparables and the derivation in signature-ready form, and takes an effective-dated snapshot so the figure reproduces exactly next year. The signature stays the appraiser’s — yours if you have one, or one we introduce. Unsigned, every document states on its own face that it is appraisal support rather than a certified appraisal.',
54    buyThat: 'If you need a signed appraisal this month and nobody is available to review Aivin’s output, engage a firm directly. That is the faster path and we will say so on a call.',
55    together: 'From $750 for the document, $375 to re-certify against a new effective date, plus whatever your appraiser charges to review and sign.'
