“Intended,” “design standard,” and “partner-dependent” do not mean available. Smelt currently provides a fictional prototype only.
Where Smelt intends to win
Not through a louder “100% value” promise. Smelt’s proposed advantage is choice plus proof: compare routes, see the quote, understand the difference, and retain a receipt that reconciles every input.
