    "Every retailer has lived the nightmare: connectivity dies at peak hour, tills freeze, and staff start handwriting sales that finance will spend January reconciling. Retail POS keeps selling on signed local state with full pricing and loyalty rules — then syncs with evidence when the network returns. The busiest day becomes a story about resilience instead of disaster."
