The world's first predictive retail intelligence system.

Breakthrough

Our predictive retail intelligence system, built upon seven interconnected dimensions of intelligence. It models the Shopper Missions, Archetypes, Mindshare, Trends and Whitespace behind every range decision.

Our video review platform: a profiled community of around 10,000 shoppers recording long-form video reviews of products, and store walks of the fixtures they shop. The behavioural signal behind Breakthrough.

Why this is different

EPOS shows one historical scenario. Breakthrough models the futures it cannot reach.

EPOS data shows a singular historical scenario, the one version of events that already happened. Breakthrough models the futures it cannot reach: the launches not yet made, the ranges not yet set, the trends still forming.

Most brands walk into a buyer meeting with the same historical sales story, and the buyer has seen that data already. It is not until they see something different that they lean in.

02

The aim: get listed at Sainsbury’s.

That is the immediate focus, and this proposal is built around it.

Target retailer
Buyer meeting
8 September 2026
Three things to demonstrate to Sainsbury’s

The shelf, predicted

What Pentire brings to the Sainsbury’s shelf, and why: modelled and sized in predictive data, an argument no other brand in the category is carrying.

The category, understood

A deep command of Low & No: what is moving, what is coming, and why. The understanding a buyer expects from a brand that is building the category.

The shoppers, on record

Sainsbury’s own shoppers trying Pentire on camera and walking the fixture: proof the buyer can watch and hear for themselves.

03

The Plan.

Four stages between kick-off and the buyer meeting.

Recommended
Monday 17 August

Kick-off

30 minutes together: the Sainsbury’s angle, the mission territory, and what the pitch needs to prove.

Stage 1

Pitch framework

We provide a pitch deck framework and structure, specific to Pentire, Low & No and Sainsbury’s: a buyer-ready structure with placeholders, ready for your story and the data to come.

You getA pitch deck framework and structure, ready to build on
Stage 2

Category data

We build the Culture & Trend Signals Report for Low & No Spirits, shaped around the Sainsbury’s brief: cultural, micro, macro and digital signals, run through our scoring models to show what is genuinely moving the category and why. Alongside it, we map and score every Shopper Mission against the current Sainsbury’s range and read where the Mindshare is still open.

You getThe Culture & Trend Signals Report and the Shopper Missions read
Stage 3

Working session with Sean

A 60-minute working session with Sean, our Commercial Director and an ex-Tesco Category Director. We take the data, the framework and the pitch material you already have, and thread it into one coherent narrative for the pitch.

You getOne coherent pitch narrative
Stage 4

Final run-through

A 30-minute session in the days before the meeting to clarify every data point, check every claim holds, and make the final tweaks while there’s still time.

Bolt on: Watch Humans.

Real Sainsbury’s shoppers, on the record. Collection takes two weeks from kick-off.

Watch Humans

Video reviews

The standard programme runs at £599 a month for 10 reviews, over three months. For this project we run all three months at once: 30 video reviews of Pentire from profiled Sainsbury’s shoppers, with full transcripts and would-buy-before and would-buy-after markers on every review.

The argument it builds is simple: we put Pentire in front of Sainsbury’s shoppers, and this is what they said. Every video is also usable as content.

30 reviews · one month£1,797

Store walk · Sainsbury’s

50 reviewers walk the Sainsbury’s spirits and Low & No fixture, commentating as they go: audio and full transcripts, with fixture analysis. How shoppers read the aisle, what they reach for, and what they notice is missing.

The walks are run separately from the product reviews, so the read is impartial and free of bias. Where the reviews give you evidence, the walk gives you a read on the fixture and where the opportunities sit.

One retailer · 50 reviewers£2,000
Bundle price

Taken together, the reviews and the store walk come to £3,500. That is £300 off the two priced separately.

The Plan + Watch Humans

The complete case for 8 September: the data, the pitch and the shopper proof in the same room. This is the one we would run.

The credit.

Every pound paid on report products is banked as credit for six months, and credit stacks. It applies automatically against the Sainsbury’s Spirits Category Intelligence Report, or any larger report in the same category. The work also feeds directly into that report, so nothing is rebuilt. Watch Humans sits outside the credit.
