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 |

| white bread (inferred from the name) | bread | soft | the frame |
| turkey | protein | umami 2 soft juicy tender | +2 |
| cheddar cheese | protein | fat 4 salt 3 umami 3 soft gooey melty | +4 |
| bacon | protein | fat 4 salt 3 umami 3 crispy chewy | +6 |
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.
