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.
