What we measure

Four measurement lines, one shelf record.

Every line below is produced from the same underlying observations, in-store capture reconciled against a normalized product catalog, so the facts agree with each other.

Share of shelf and facings

Facing-level counts per brand and product, with shelf position and fixture context. Eye-level is earned or bought; either way, we record who holds it.

Delivered fields
  • ·facings per product per fixture
  • ·shelf level and eye-level flags
  • ·fixture type (cooler, aisle, end cap)
  • ·adjacency: what sits beside what

Assortment and distribution

The stocked set per banner and per visit: what is carried, how deep, what appeared, and what quietly left the shelf.

Delivered fields
  • ·stocked / not-stocked by banner
  • ·assortment depth per category
  • ·first-observed and last-observed dates
  • ·store-format gaps vs digital catalog

Price and promotion

Shelf-tag prices as printed, reconciled against digital storefront prices for the same item. The spread between them is often the story.

Delivered fields
  • ·shelf-tag price per observation
  • ·digital price for the matched item
  • ·promotional flags and multiples
  • ·per-unit normalization

Category structure and brand power

Concentration, fragmentation, and entrant velocity per category: the shape of the competition, not just the roster.

Delivered fields
  • ·brand counts and share structure
  • ·fragmentation and concentration indices
  • ·new-entrant appearance rates
  • ·parent-company rollups

Delivery is by client dashboard, flat-file export, warehouse share, or API, on a cadence matched to the engagement. Public materials anonymize retailer identity; named-banner coverage is licensed to clients.
