Contextual attributes

What the market says about a product.

Benefits, occasions, taste and texture, read from reviews, listings and brand pages. What a brand claims and what a shopper reports are kept apart.

every other contextual attribute on this can, read the same way

On the pack: Zero sugar · Low calorie · Caffeinated. Everything above came from what people wrote, not from the label. Illustrative, invented brand.

Where each field comes from

Every field starts as a phrase someone published, coded to an attribute and a canonical value.

Reviews
what buyers wrote after using it

Shopper reviews across the retailer sites we read. The sentence is what gets coded, so a review returns the benefit a shopper named.

Listings
what the retailer publishes about it

Product pages, descriptions and bullets across the sites that carry the item. The merchandising language that sits between what the pack says and what the shopper reports.

Pack and brand pages
what the brand asserts in public

Benefit and occasion language the brand publishes itself, on the pack and the product page. Kept separate, so a brand's claim is never read as a shopper's report.

Where this gets used

What shoppers published, coded to an attribute, at the UPC, across the whole category.

01

Category management

A benefit is climbing in reviews right across the category, and the retailer's shelf carries almost nothing that delivers it. That gap, with the products that would fill it, is the joint business plan slide.

02

Insights and strategy

The words shoppers use are read, coded and joined to the UPC. A rising theme becomes something you measure in your own category.

03

Brand and innovation

The benefit shoppers keep naming that your pack never mentions. Usually the line that belongs on the next design, and the claim worth testing first.

Three layers of attributes

Contextual is one of three layers. Core is what the product is. Custom is the structure you define.

One product, one key0 99999 12345 7

Every attribute hangs off the same UPC. Add the three layers up and you have the product described in full, with nothing counted twice.

Core

listing, pack and label

What the product is. Identifiers, brand hierarchy, taxonomy, size and multipack, packaging, origin and titles. True whether or not anyone ever buys it.
