*[[Web browser]] access to the [[Signal Wiki]] would be the default for in-home or in-office use, and might constitute the bulk of [[Consumerium Service access]].  However, it would not reach the actual [[point of purchase]].

:[[Coupon]]s might tie in well to this kind of system.

*Data might get printed at the [[retail shelf]] [[display card]] or [[leaflet]] someday if some chain or region or nation decides to require it - the first step to [[Consumerium Country]].  This might be a way to positively market [[local food]], for instance, and could work with tie-ins to the [[Slow Food]] people.

*Customized and definitive buying advice, seen by the end user as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light|green]] traffic-type '''signal''', or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the [[product]] at the [[retail shelf]].
