C43 · Reference edition 2026.11
Attribute maps — Comparison and alternatives
A visual map organises descriptors; proximity on the drawing is an editorial relation unless a measurement method states otherwise.
Scope and purpose
Compare alternatives using the same question and context. A difference in wording, layout or scale is not automatically a difference in performance. Keep the original observations available and explain which differences are meaningful for this comparison.
Working notes
This atlas connects descriptive vocabulary, observation context and reference-sheet design. All example records are synthetic and exist to explain a method of documentation; they do not represent tested batches, product ratings or scientific results. The diagrams are original editorial graphics. Descriptions of perceived character are kept separate from ingredient, origin, health and certification claims. Read definitions and scale anchors before comparing records.
Practical example
Use labelled axes and explain whether a position denotes a category or an illustrative value.

Review checklist
State the comparison question; align context and labels; list common features separately from differences; leave unsupported conclusions open.
