The metrics and fundamentals that quantify the shelf

Commercial metrics built from physical shelf checks, giving your team the evidence to protect listings and negotiate fair space.

Four measures of retail execution

The essential evaluation categories we audit across every fixture to measure total store-level execution.

Space

Is space being allocated effectively?

Evaluates how category and brand space is distributed, whether key segments receive appropriate visibility and where space may be under- or over-allocated.

Assortment and Distribution

Is the right range available in the right locations?

Assesses distribution, range composition and the availability of priority brands and SKUs — rewarding relevant, well-curated assortments rather than range for range’s sake.

Price

Is pricing clear, competitive and easy to understand?

Examines price positioning, price ladders and value communication to identify inconsistencies, gaps and barriers to purchase.

Promotion

Is promotional activity adding value?

Measures the presence, quality and balance of promotional activity. More promotions do not automatically produce a better score — the focus is on effective promotion that supports shopper choice and category growth.

Proprietary shelf economics

Our core financial and spatial calculations that measure product density, space fairness, and store-level compliance.

SDR

SKU Density Ratio

How hard is each metre of your fixture working? SDR measures SKU and facing concentration against physical space — the core economics of the shelf, quantified.

MSL

Must Stock Lines Compliance

Your priority SKUs, checked in every store, every wave. White space is flagged instantly, so missing listings get fixed before they cost you sales.

SoS

Share of Space vs Market Share

The fairness test. If you hold 20% of the market and 12% of the shelf, you have a negotiation to open — and the empirical evidence to win it.
