Very good. Small moves left on the board.

Each bar is one pillar of the score, 0 to 100\. The tick marks what a sandwich at the summit needs; an amber bar is the one holding this sandwich back.

**white bread (the menu offers a choice of bread; scored on this one)**, served cold: shrimp; *lettuce*; *tomato*; *mayonnaise*.

In italics: what the name implies and the menu does not list.

Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Copenhagen Bakery & Cafe's typical score.

**89** Balance, out of 100

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.

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.
