Canon - Drinking Rim published: Meaning and Limits

The "ready to drink" release is not a marketing promise, but a maturity-oriented decision-making logic.

It prioritizes sensory evidence over market velocity and uses the actual state of development as a reference.

The maturity-oriented release model synchronizes market entry and maturity phase. It reduces forecasting risks and shifts responsibility from the consumer back to the producer.

Ready to drink, released ≠ ready for market early

Ready to drink, published ≠ short-term availability

Consequence: A release ready for drinking requires patience, storability, and a willingness to postpone market impulses in favor of structural integrity.
