Sweet Bonanza

Sweet Bonanza is a thermometric utility engineered for precise sugar boiling applications. The software calculates thermal targets, logs batch data, and supplies diagnostic troubleshooting, operating strictly as a local reference tool.

Calibration and Timing
The primary module calculates accurate pull-off temperatures by adjusting for environmental variables. An integrated altitude slider modifies the baseline boiling point, lowering thermal targets by approximately half a degree per 150 metres of elevation. A concurrent chronometer monitors exact hold durations once the target temperature is achieved.

Stage Reference
The internal database indexes eight thermal states, progressing from thread to dark caramel. Each entry provides temperature parameters in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, physical parameters for cold-water testing, primary culinary applications, and stage-specific failure points.

Batch Documentation
A dedicated logging module archives historical session data. Users can log the batch type, the targeted thermal stage, the altitude-corrected temperature, the exact hold duration, a one-to-five assessment metric, and customized text annotations. This data establishes a baseline for future iterations.

Diagnostic Index
The software includes six diagnostic cards addressing structural failures: crystallization (grainy texture), seized mixtures, failure to set, discrepancies between thermal probes and physical tests, ambient moisture absorption (overnight stickiness), and asymmetric heating. Each card defines the mechanical cause of the failure and outlines procedural adjustments.

System Architecture
All data is housed exclusively on the local device. The Sweet Bonanza executes entirely offline, functioning without network manifest permissions, user authentication, or data synchronization. The user interface automatically adapts to the active system light or dark display configuration.
