ScarceIdeas.com Copyright © 2007 Scarce Ideas, LLC. - All rights reserved --- Spider ( Web ) Graph --- A mild coffee like this Island-profile type will typically have fewer "points" on the blue Flavor Quality graph, and they are lower in intensity and/or very subtle in quality so the overall blue Web will be smaller/tighter to the center. A very bold coffee with a lot of complexity, and many flavor descriptors, will have more "points" on the Flavor Quality graph, and will span farther out from the center, meaning these qualities have greater intensity. Web "roundness“, or lack thereof, does not communicate any lack of quality, but might mean that one dimension of the coffee is missing, i.e., body. dimension 7 Spokes ( 7- Dimensions )10 Spokes ( 10- Dimensions ) Scarce Ideas converts each Spider to a Single Point in a High-Dimensional space Thus... Similar Spiders appear as Clustered Points in that High-Dim space Such SpiderClusters © reveal the hidden Order among Spiders
