Why am I seeing this?
Metric. Mix: Share of parent revenue represented by the slice. Formula: slice_revenue / parent_revenue.
Comparison. +22.0% versus +29.0%
Calculation. Latest month versus the same month last year, using the semantic metric definition.
Major contributors
- Pulse Energy 250 ml Can: +4.7 pts (+50.0% of explained movement)
- Pulse Energy 330 ml Can: −3.4 pts (+36.4% of explained movement)
- General Trade: −2.9 pts (+37.9% of explained movement)
- Quick Commerce: +1.8 pts (+23.3% of explained movement)
- Pulse Energy 250 ml PET: −0.9 pts (+9.6% of explained movement)
Assumptions
- Year-ago month is the comparison base.
- Expected growth for a slowdown is the prior-window YoY, held constant.
- Child contributions are additive on the parent year-ago revenue base.
- Realization is a residual of revenue and volume — it includes price, pack mix and discounting.
Data limitations
- Outlet counts are numeric distribution points, not unique outlets.
- Promotion and category-share facts exist in the NOVA warehouse; this diagnosis still explains the parent movement from volume and mix first.
- SKU and channel cuts overlap. They explain the same movement from different angles.
