01What exactly is being measured

Carbonated soft drink flavored with guaraná (Paullinia cupana), sold at industrial scale.

Guaraná grows in the Amazon ^[1], but the soda is consumed at scale almost only in Brazil ^[2].

Abroad, it shows up on the shelves of immigrant grocery stores ^[3]. Compare with the açaí bowl.

Presence abroad Sum of each place's weight: widespread = 1, regional = 0.5, marginal = 0.1. Where it only exists as a Brazilian export, the weight is multiplied by 0.5.: 0.3 (0.25–0.35)
Exclusivity E From 0 (exists everywhere) to 1 (only in Brazil), on a log scale.: 0.94 (0.93–0.95)
Intensity I How much more common it is in Brazil than in the other places where it exists. Consumed nationwide in Brazil; abroad, almost only in Brazilian grocery stores (fictional data). [2]: 4 of 4
Rarity coefficient R R = E + 0.5 × (I ÷ 4) × (1 − E) R = 0.94 + 0.5 × (4 ÷ 4) × (1 − 0.94) = 0.97: 0.97
