How to Read a Mosaic Profile 1.The name given to each classification type 2.Number of households/population/adults 18 and over within each classification type 3.Penetration % is calculated based on the target volume divided by the base volume 4.The Normalized index is similar to the index but takes volume into account. 5.The Index compares the percentage of each type in the customer file against the percentage of each type in the base population. The index is the means by which each type is determined to be over- or under-represented within the base profile. An index of 100 occurs where the target % is the same as the base % and therefore the proportion of customers in the profile within this type is said to be average. For the Normalized Index, the average value is zero, so any indices above zero is over represented by the target group and any index less than zero is under represented by the target group IN STRICT COMMERCIAL CONFIDENCE
