These companies are in the Food & Beverage cohort but don't have a Executive Extraction computed for FY 2023. Either the underlying inputs aren't tagged in their XBRL filings, the DEF 14A pay-ratio narrative didn't parse cleanly, or this fiscal year hasn't been ingested for them yet.

Applied to packaged-food, beverage, and quick-service restaurant companies. COGS captures ingredients, packaging, and (for QSR) franchise-operated cost of revenue. The Markup Ratio is meaningful but the Operational Markup is the cleaner signal because brand investment flows through SG&A — and Shareholder Extraction often runs high because mature consumer-staples brands return capital aggressively rather than reinvest.
Required disclosure under Dodd-Frank Section 953(b) since 2018. Filed in DEF 14A proxy statements. The dashboard aggregates the disclosure across the top 50 and ranks.
Source data: CEO total compensation and median employee compensation, both as filed in the company's most recent DEF 14A. When the ratio is XBRL-tagged we use the tagged value; otherwise the narrative disclosure is parsed (~99% accuracy).
