Why this score
The first three bars are sub-scores (0–100 per lever) that build the score; the values under each label are the measured quantities that drive them. Hyper-palatability works the other way — it cuts the built score by the shown percentage (up to −80%). Full math here.
- Protein floor applied — real protein keeps this above the bottom band despite everything else.
