Brand Power (0-100) blends four shelf signals. Price position is shown below for context · a value↔premium read, not part of the score.

25 products in the catalog. how deep the product line is (saturating).
spans 6 categories · 13 subcategories. how many categories the brand plays in (saturating).
each bar is the % of that category's SKUs that are Hummingbird (full bar = 100% of the shelf), grouped by department.
the brands crowding the same categories as Hummingbird · photographed shelf-mates first, then brands stocked beside it at the same grocers, then same-category rivals citywide.
closest to Hummingbird in what it makes — matched on product name, category & description across the whole catalog, wherever they’re sold. Not who it competes with on the shelf.
the full Hummingbird lineup · on SF shelves first (cheapest first), then SKUs we've catalogued but haven't measured on a shelf here yet.











7 storefronts across 4 grocers carry it · tap a pin to open the store.
Bay Area grocers where neither the digital catalog nor our shelf photos show Hummingbird· but the shelf it belongs on is already there, ranked by fit. Fit blends category coverage, rival presence, price-band match, and openness to independents at this scale; weigh the footprint chips and route notes against it · a 7-door chain and a single great shop are different prizes. Our capture is partial, so a widely-distributed brand may already be carried through channels we don’t index.
Lead with Hummingbird Dark Chocolate Organic Covered Hazelnuts · its most-distributed SKU (2 doors) in Chocolate Candies, the biggest opening. The closest open door is Berkeley Bowl · 4 rivals already on that shelf.

absence = seen in neither the grocer's digital catalog nor our shelf photos (90 days); assortments move. fit reads the shelf, not the buying office — see route notes.
