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

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.

## Pairings

- **Tomato + Fresh Mozzarella**: caprese core: milky against sweet acid
- **Mint + Pickle (cucumber)**: mint and cucumber, cool on cool
- **Mint + Yogurt (labneh)**: mint in yogurt, raita and tzatziki logic
- **Pickle (cucumber) + Yogurt (labneh)**: levantine cool: strained yogurt and crunch
