This provides a transparent recipe grid for a small whiskey pilot, but the design should be augmented if the likely optimum lies inside a narrow interior region.
NIST defines evenly spaced lattice coordinates and shows the three-component design.
For three components evaluated at proportions 0, one-third, two-thirds, and one, the complete simplex-lattice contains ten unique formulas; because most standard points lie on the boundary, interior prediction may require added interior points.
