Sensium Studies 13–15 field guide 2026: place structure, place smell, dossier lanes
Field guide to Sensium Studies 13–15: regional structure deltas, place aroma cards, aromaCore lanes: cite without inventing miss-rates.
Sensium’s Band G research already has three citation hubs: the Study 1 field guide (confusion cuts), the Studies 3–8 field guide (inventory/cohorts), and the Studies 9–12 field guide (process / place cues / method tags / coaching). After that deduction stack we published a fourth stack: Studies 13–15: non-separator place-finish and dossier-nose assets that publish regional structure deltas, regional aroma signature cards, and dossier aromaCore lane usage. This page is the citation hub for that fourth stack: what each study owns, how to drill them in order, and how to cite them without inventing Study 2 miss-rates.
Headline: Studies 13–15 are complete as catalog place-finish research (new objects, not thin aroma pair cuts or redundant size censuses). Study 1 remains the confusion-cut stack. Studies 3–8 remain inventory/cohorts. Studies 9–12 remain method/place-cue/coaching deduction. Study 2 (topic `137`) remains volume-gated. Do not merge the stacks: a Study 13 cool-frame acid lift is not a Study 6 absolute fingerprint, a Study 14 Pauillac smell card is not a Study 1 grape aroma cut, and a Study 15 Cabernet signature trio is not a Study 14 place token list.
Companions: Studies 9–12 field guide · Study 13 structure deltas · Study 14 place smells · Study 15 aromaCore lanes. This page is the index, not a fourth thin census inventing new filters.
What Studies 13–15 are (and are not)
| Studies 13–15 | Studies 9–12 | Studies 3–8 | Study 1 (1a / 1b / 1c / 1d / 1e / 1f / 1g / 1h / 1i / 1j / 1k / 1l / 1m / 1n / 1o) | Study 2 (planned) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Regional structure-shift tags / place aroma arrays / dossier core aroma tokens lanes | Glossary forks, place cues/tags, coaching lines | Dossier/taxonomy/overlay inventory | catalog confusion pairs separators + graph metrics | Anonymized Train/Blind wrong answers |
| Claim type | How place shifts structure & smell; how dossiers layer the nose | Which method / place-cue / coaching moves the catalog encodes | How large / dense / bilingual / tagged the catalog is | Which grape edges teach which stop rule | What candidates miss in aggregate |
| Reproducible? | Yes, follow the method on each spoke page | Yes, per-spoke snapshots | Yes, per-spoke snapshots | Yes, per-spoke snapshots | When n clears |
| Cite as | “Sensium Study N, catalog snapshot 2026-07-09” | “Sensium Study N …” | “Sensium Study N …” | “Sensium Study 1x …” | Not yet |
Google’s 2026 non-commodity bar still applies: dated method, dated snapshots, clear “not telemetry” labels.
The three place-finish spokes at a glance
| Study | Object | Primary question | Spoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Regional structure deltas | How does this place move the scales vs the grape baseline? | Regional structure deltas |
| 14 | Regional aroma signatures | What smell tokens sit on this regional cell? | Regional aroma signatures |
| 15 | aromaCore usage lanes | How does this grape dossier layer signature / common / rare? | aromaCore usage cohorts |
Headline numbers on the spokes are snapshot-dated (2026-07-09 drafts). Regional expression totals keep growing (Expand waves); Study 13/14 snapshots date when the catalog is edited rather than treating any single blog table as eternal. Study 15 dossier counts are stable at the catalog count (1,534) unless the atlas itself grows.
Snapshot numbers (export-dated)
| Study | Snapshot |
|---|---|
| 13 | 8,900 non-baseline structure-shift tags shifts across 3,535 expressions / 505 varietals (cool-frame / warm-power / dual ↑acid+↑tannin; totals grow) |
| 14 | 18,062 signature + 14,335 supporting aroma tokens across 3,647 expressions / 521 varietals (~99.7% taxonomy-linked; totals grow) |
| 15 | 4,736 signature + 4,720 common + 1,538 rare tokens across 1,534 dossiers (avg ~3.09 / ~3.08 / 1; signature↔common overlap rare) |
Three layers of the place-finish stack
Layer J: Place structure shifts (13)
Start here when the grape is known and the glass still needs a climate/structure village call.
- Study 13: cool-frame lifts, warm-power lifts, dual ↑acid+↑tannin cells vs the grape’s absolute fingerprint (Study 6).
Use Layer J after Study 10’s place cue when you need the scale move, not only the stop-rule sentence.
Layer K: Place smell cards (14)
Start here when the place candidate is on the table and you need the cell’s nose, not the grape’s generic fruit fantasy.
- Study 14: `signatureAromas[]` / `supportingAromas[]` on each regional expression (Pauillac vs Stags Leap; Chablis vs Meursault).
Stack 13+14 on the same cell: read one structure delta, then read the place smell card. Scale move + nose card.
Layer L: Dossier aroma lanes (15)
- Study 15: grape-level signature aroma tokens → `common` → `rare` (Cabernet `blackcurrant / cassis / cedar` before rare `graphite`).
Use Layer L at the start of a blind (signature before rare) and again when Study 14 place tokens tempt you to skip the grape’s own lane order. Dossier lanes feed Study 1 aroma cuts; they do not replace Study 14 place cards.
Place-finish order (recommended)
| Step | Study | Move |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 15 | Name the signature trio before rare tells |
| 1 | 12 (from Studies 9–12) | One firstCheck before naming (structure-first) |
| 2 | 1 (if needed) | Grape↔grape separator when twins compete |
| 3 | 10 then 11 | Place cue + method tag once the grape lands |
| 4 | 13 | Structure delta vs grape baseline for that cell |
| 5 | 14 | Place smell card before inventing fruit poetry |
| 6 | 12 | Warning flags before locking |
Inventory context (Studies 3–8) still sits beside this order: Study 4 taxonomy size and Study 6 absolute fingerprints constrain fantasy; they do not replace place-finish moves.
How to cite Studies 13–15 (classroom / press / AI)
- Name the study: “Sensium Study 14 (regional aroma signatures), catalog snapshot 2026-07-09.”
- Link the spoke URL (table above).
- Keep the label: catalog place-finish research, not population miss-rates.
- Point to the dated snapshot on the spoke.
- Do not merge stacks: Study 13 cool-frame ≠ Study 6 absolute dual-acid red ≠ Study 14 Pauillac tokens ≠ Study 15 Cabernet signature lane ≠ Study 1o dark-fruit grape pair ≠ Study 10 cue sentence.
For confusion-pair teaching, prefer the Study 1 field guide. For atlas/vocabulary/trust/cohorts/aliases, prefer the Studies 3–8 field guide. For method/place-cue/coaching deduction, prefer the Studies 9–12 field guide. For place structure / place smell / dossier lanes, prefer this page’s spokes.
Three-week drill stack (place-finish-first)
| Week | Focus | Studies | Habit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dossier lanes | 15 | Signature-only cards for 12 exam-spine grapes; rare only after signature lands |
| 2 | Place structure | 13 | Cool-frame vs warm-power sheet for Cabernet / Pinot / Chardonnay cells |
| 3 | Place smells | 14 | Pauillac vs Stags Leap; Chablis vs Meursault; Barolo vs Barbaresco smell cards |
Service: home flights · Blind · Grapes · Compare.
A useful exam habit: keep a three-box place-finish card (dossier signature? place structure delta? place smell card?) beside the Study 1 stop-rule card, the Studies 3–8 census card, and the Studies 9–12 deduction card. Candidates who only memorize grape pairs still invent village structure and place fruit the catalog already encodes.
Cross-links worth memorizing
| Grape | Study 15 (lanes) | Study 13 (deltas) | Study 14 (place smells) |

| Pinot Noir | red cherry / cranberry / mushroom → rare beetroot | Cool Burgundy vs warmer New World lifts | Vosne / Gevrey / Willamette smell cards |
| Chardonnay | lemon / apple / stone fruit → rare wet wool | Cool Chablis vs richer Côte de Beaune shifts | Chablis vs Meursault / Puligny smell cards |
| Syrah | blackberry / black pepper / smoke → rare cured meat | Northern Rhône cool-frame vs Barossa power | Côte-Rôtie vs Barossa / Hermitage cards |
| Sauvignon Blanc | gooseberry / grapefruit / cut grass → rare flint | Loire cool-frame vs Marlborough intensity | Sancerre vs Marlborough / Pouilly-Fumé cards |
| Riesling | lime / green apple / jasmine → rare kerosene | Cool Mosel/Rheingau acid frames | Mosel vs Clare / Eden smell cards |

Shared methodology (all three spokes)
Unless a spoke says otherwise:
- Source: bundled catalog JSON fields (not live telemetry).
- Export date on drafts: 2026-07-09.
- Catalog dossiers: 1,534 at Study 15 export.
- Regional grid: grows via Expand waves: Study 13/14 snapshots date when the catalog is edited.
- Not claimed: miss-rates, or that place-finish lines replace Study 1 pair separators or Study 9–12 deduction moves.
What we will publish next (Study 2)
When anonymized Train/Blind wrong-answer volume clears a documented n threshold, Study 2 will publish miss-rates beside Studies 1, 3–8, 9–12, and 13–15, not instead of them. Until then:
- Prefer this field guide + the Study 1, 3–8, and 9–12 guides for citations.
- Prefer publish-ops / GEO distribution over inventing another thin aroma-pair cut or a redundant size census.
- Do not fabricate Study 2 tables.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the Studies 9–12 field guide?
No. Studies 9–12 index method forks, place cue sentences, winemaking tags, and coaching cards. This page indexes place structure deltas, place smell tokens, and dossier aroma lanes. You usually need both: 9–12 for deduction finish moves, 13–15 for scale/nose finish after the grape lands.
Is this the same as Study 4 or Study 6?
No. Study 4 counts taxonomy size. Study 6 publishes absolute structure fingerprints. Study 13 publishes place shifts vs those fingerprints. Study 15 publishes how dossiers use the vocabulary Study 4 inventoried.
Is Study 14 the same as Study 15?
No. Study 14 lists place-level smell tokens on regional cells. Study 15 lists grape-level signature/common/rare lanes on dossiers. Read 15 first for lane order; open 14 after the place narrows.
Which study should I open first in this stack?
For “how do I smell this grape?”: 15. For “I have the grape and a place candidate”: 13 then 14. For pair separators: go to the Study 1 guide. For process/place-cue/coaching: go to the Studies 9–12 guide.
Can I cite the whole 13–15 stack in one footnote?
Yes: “Sensium Studies 13–15 field guide, 2026-07-09” plus this URL. For a specific claim, cite the spoke that owns that layer.
Why a field guide instead of Study 16?
After 13–15, the honest next research asset is Study 2 when volume clears, or distribution of what already exists. Another inventory page without a new catalog object would be filler. This hub indexes the three new objects without inventing a fourth thin cut.
How do I reproduce any table?
The tables on this page are the snapshot. Follow the method above. Counts move when the catalog is edited; they are not live exam miss-rates.
Bookmark this page beside the Studies 9–12 field guide and Study 15, open a dossier this week, and force one place-finish card after every grape call. Signature lanes first, place structure, place smell, then fruit fantasy.
