Sensium’s Band G research is not only the fifteen confusion cuts in the Study 1 field guide. After those cuts, we published a second stack: Studies 3–8 — non-separator catalog censuses that measure atlas size, sensory vocabulary, evidence/bilingual trust, structure fingerprints, climate affinity, and alias identity. This page is the citation hub for that second stack: what each study owns, how to drill them, and how to cite them without inventing Study 2 miss-rates.
Headline: Studies 3–8 are complete as catalog inventory research. Study 1 (1a–1o) remains the confusion-cut stack. Study 2 (topic `137`) remains volume-gated. Do not merge the stacks: a Study 6 cohort size is not a miss-rate, and a Study 8 synonym spine is not a Study 1d separator table.
Companions: Study 1 field guide · Study 3 atlas · Study 8 aliases. This page is the index, not a seventh thin census inventing new filters.
What Studies 3–8 are (and are not)
| Studies 3–8 | Study 1 (1a / 1b / 1c / 1d / 1e / 1f / 1g / 1h / 1i / 1j / 1k / 1l / 1m / 1n / 1o) | Study 2 (planned) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Dossier fields, taxonomy, glossary, overlays | catalog confusion pairs separators + graph metrics | Anonymized Train/Blind wrong answers |
| Claim type | How large / dense / bilingual / tagged the catalog is | Which edges teach which stop rule | What candidates miss in aggregate |
| Reproducible? | Yes — follow the method on each spoke page | Yes — per-spoke snapshots | When n clears |
| Cite as | “Sensium Study N, catalog snapshot 2026-07-09” | “Sensium Study 1x …” | Not yet |
Google’s 2026 non-commodity bar still applies: dated method, dated snapshots, clear “not telemetry” labels.
The six censuses at a glance
| Study | Object | Primary question | Spoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Atlas inventory | How large is the dossier / graph / regional atlas? | Catalog atlas census |
| 4 | Sensory vocabulary | How large is the aroma taxonomy + process glossary? | Sensory vocabulary census |
| 5 | Evidence + FR trust | How sourced and bilingual is the coaching prose? | Evidence & bilingual census |
| 6 | Structure cohorts | Which grapes share acid/tannin/color traps? | Structure fingerprint cohorts |
| 7 | Climate cohorts | Which grapes share cool/moderate/warm/hot tags? | Climate affinity cohorts |
| 8 | Alias identity | How dense are synonyms, pronunciation, travelers? | Alias identity census |
Headline numbers on the spokes are snapshot-dated (2026-07-09 drafts). Regional expression totals keep growing (Expand waves); Study 3/7 snapshots date when the catalog is edited rather than treating any single blog table as eternal.
Three layers of the census stack
Layer D — Inventory moat (3–5)
Start here for press, AI citation, and “what does Sensium actually own?”
- Study 3 — dossiers, dual confusion surfaces (full vs product-capped), coaching logic word density, regional 7-cell grid.
- Study 4 — 7→33→841 aroma markers, 100% core aroma tokens coverage, 44 process terms, FR lexicon/term map.
- Study 5 — provenance citations, commercial status honesty (including unclear), FR free-prose overlays.
Use Layer D when someone asks for a moat number (how many dossiers, how many markers, how many provenance rows) instead of a pair tip.
Layer E — Teaching cohorts (6–7)
Start here for flight building and exam traps that are not pair separators.
- Study 6 — structure fingerprints (e.g. dual acid+tannin reds; pale high-tannin set of five; high-acid whites; low-acid aromatic whites).
- Study 7 — climate affinity (cool-framed without warm/hot; moderate+warm spine; hot+warm; multi-label honesty).
Stack 6+7 on the same grape: Nebbiolo is pale high-tannin and cool+moderate. Force both cards before Barolo fantasy.
Layer F — Label literacy (8)
- Study 8 — alias density, 13-grape exam synonym spine (rank ≤100 × ≥3 aliases), 100% pronunciation, multi-country travelers.
Pair with Study 1d when the trap is an edge separator; use Study 8 when the trap is one grape, many bottle names.
How to cite Studies 3–8 (classroom / press / AI)
- Name the study: “Sensium Study 6 (structure fingerprint cohorts), catalog snapshot 2026-07-09.”
- Link the spoke URL (table above).
- Keep the label: catalog inventory / cohort research — not population miss-rates.
- Point to the dated snapshot on the spoke.
- Do not merge stacks: Study 1j pepper-smoke ≠ Study 6 dual-structure cohort ≠ Study 7 cool-framed set ≠ Study 8 Tempranillo aliases.
For confusion-pair teaching, prefer the Study 1 field guide. For “how big / how sourced / which structural trap,” prefer this page’s spokes.
Four-week drill stack (census-first)
| Week | Focus | Studies | Habit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moat literacy | 3, 4, 5 | Read one census headline table; cite the dated snapshot |
| 2 | Structure traps | 6 | Pale high-tannin five + dual acid+tannin top 12 — scales before grape |
| 3 | Climate frame | 7 | Cool-without-warm top 10 + moderate+warm spine — tags before place |
| 4 | Identity labels | 8 (+ 1d) | Exam synonym spine of 13 — local name → canonical id |
Service: home flights · structure tasting · cool vs warm · Blind.
A useful exam habit: keep a six-box census card — atlas size? vocabulary family? provenance/FR? structure cohort? climate tags? aliases? — beside the Study 1 stop-rule card. Candidates who only memorize pair tips still invent place fantasy the catalog’s tags already constrain.
If you teach a weekly club, assign one Layer D number (Study 3 or 5) as the “citation homework,” then one Layer E flight (Study 6 or 7) as the tasting homework, then one Study 8 synonym card as the label homework. That rotation keeps the census stack from becoming a PDF nobody opens — and it keeps Study 1 pair drills from floating without inventory context.
Cross-links worth memorizing
| Grape | Study 6 | Study 7 | Study 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nebbiolo | Pale + high tannin; dual acid+tannin | Cool+moderate | Spanna / Chiavennasca / Picotener |
| Cabernet Sauvignon | Dual acid+tannin; deep+high tannin | Moderate+warm | Multi-country traveler |
| Sauvignon Blanc | High-acid / light+high-acid white | Cool-framed | Multi-country traveler |
| Tempranillo | Dual acid+tannin | Moderate+warm | Exam-spine aliases (5) |
| Carignan | Dual / deep tannin sets | Warm (often single-label) | Exam-spine + max-alias (6) |
Open Compare inside one cohort, not across random famous names.
Shared methodology (all six 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 those exports.
- Regional grid: grows via Expand waves — Study 3/7 snapshots date when the catalog is edited.
- Not claimed: miss-rates, OIV official climate maps, or “complete human olfactory map.”
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 and 3–8 — not instead of them. Until then:
- Prefer this field guide + Study 1’s guide for citations.
- Prefer publish-ops / GEO distribution over inventing another thin aroma-pair cut or a redundant census.
- Do not fabricate Study 2 tables.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the Study 1 field guide?
No. Study 1 indexes confusion cuts. This page indexes catalog censuses (3–8). You usually need both: pairs for stop rules, censuses for moat and cohort drills.
Which study should I open first?
For press/AI: 3 then 5. For exam flights: 6 then 7 then 8. For aroma token authority: 4. For pair separators: go to the Study 1 guide.
Can I cite the whole 3–8 stack in one footnote?
Yes — “Sensium Studies 3–8 field guide, 2026-07-09” plus this URL. For a specific claim, cite the spoke that owns that layer.
Why no Study 9 thin census?
After 3–8, 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.
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.
