The next radar is yours. What should we check in your aisle?

Thirty-five issues have taken a headline, a policy or a cost shock and checked it against the register: what shoppers actually bought, aisle by aisle. Some threats turned out bigger than the news said. Many turned out smaller. Tell us the one you're watching, and we'll run the same check on your category, privately, using the syndicated data your company already licenses.

HOW

How a private radar works

Step 1 · You

Name the threat

A headline, a policy, a cost spike, a retailer move or a rumor from a buyer meeting. One sentence is enough.

Step 2 · You

Bring your data

A private radar runs on your company’s own syndicated data, from your subscription to NIQ, SPINS or another syndicated source.

Step 3 · Bedrock

Check the register

We line up the public narrative against what your category actually sold: volume, price, promotion, distribution, store brands.

Step 4 · You

Get the read

A Radar built for your aisle: findings with confidence levels, the traps we checked for, and what to do about it.

REQ

Request your radar

Before you request
  • Your company subscribes to NIQ, SPINS or another syndicated data source
  • Bedrock doesn’t supply the data; the radar runs on your subscription
What you get
  • The narrative, dated: when the story started, who pushed it, how loud it got
  • The register read for your category: volume, price, promotion, shelf
  • A verdict: bigger than it looks, smaller, or neither
  • Five judgments, each with a confidence level
  • Actions for brand, sales and trade teams
What stays private
  • Your request, your name and your company
  • Your data, used only for your radar
  • Published issues name categories only, never brands, makers or retailers
