Channel · Retail

Where the product is stocked, found and taken home.

Retail is a single canonical account type with a wide spread of formats beneath it. A specialist bottle shop and a travel-retail unit share a Channel and almost nothing else, so the subtype and the traits carry the buying story.

Traits that matter here

Attributes add detail. They never change the type.

Traits are stored separately from the account type and each one records whether it was sourced directly or inferred, with a confidence floor below which an inference is not shown at all.

Premium

The account explicitly presents a premium offer or experience.

Craft-focused

Craft production or curation is central to the offer.

High footfall

High traffic is supported by a published or human-observed source.

Grab & go

Fast takeaway is a material part of the format.

Sustainability-led

Published operations or sourcing make sustainability a material positioning claim.

Visitor destination

Travel, editorial or review evidence shows meaningful visitor draw.

The other Channels

One Account universe, three ways in.

An Account belongs to exactly one Channel. Coverage, scoring and lifecycle work identically across all three.

On-premise

Hospitality accounts where the product is served and consumed on site.

Experiences

Cultural, leisure and event opportunities where the brand can be sampled or experienced.
