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    |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------- | --------- |
| garlic breadscored as Baguette                | bread   | crispy soft flaky                | the frame |
| flank steakscored as Beef                     | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender | **+9**    |
| caramelized onionsscored as Caramelized Onion | bulk    | sweet 4 umami 3 fat 2 soft silky | **+7**    |

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.
