The standard

A ruled allocation names the criteria by which it assigns and applies them equally to all. Without a disclosed rule, scarcity is merely a selling point.

Criteria

The assigned quantity is smaller than demand
The criteria of assignment are set in advance
They apply equally to all recipients
The scarcity is real, not manufactured

Distinction

Allocation ≠ en primeur: the subscription model concerns the timing of the sale, the ruled allocation the distribution of a scarce quantity. Allocation ≠ manufactured scarcity: an allocation presupposes a real scarcity, it does not create one.
