REVIEW FLAGS
- Interlock improves lateral continuity but may reduce the effective vertical compression path.
- Compression output uses reference ECT and a flute-height proxy. It remains advisory and does not constrain the solver.
- The layer centre is offset from the platform centre; review load balance.
- Board and flute references support an advisory compression estimate only; confirm the actual board and finished-case performance before release.
- Maximum geometric count is not a certification of pallet, package or transport performance.
DATA PROVENANCE
Case style: Case & Carton Styles · row 2 · Confirmed.Board reference: ECT-Mullen Grades · row 6 · cross checked reference.Platform: CHEP Australia. Published platform dimensions and average tare. Confirm the actual pallet and handling environment.Generated by a deterministic planning model. Whole-stack support and weight transmission are calculated from case-footprint intersections.

METHOD TRACE & LIMITATIONS
- Reference mode uses the supplied flute-height range as a caliper proxy and remains advisory.
- After 30% humidity loss, 0% additional loss and a 3 safety factor, the working load is 537 N per case.
- The selected stack transfers a maximum of 412 N onto one case at layer 1.
- The derated working-load basis provides 30.3% reserve above the calculated peak demand.
- This screen does not model creep, moisture history, score lines, print and die-cut damage, pallet deflection, product load-sharing or dynamic transport.
