The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer                          | Role    | Flavor and texture                      | Points    |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | --------------------------------------- | --------- |
| whole wheat pitascored as Pita | bread   | soft chewy                              | the frame |
| hamburger pattyscored as Beef  | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender        | **+17**   |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.
