4/After 4 months, Store Scout practice scores improved overall and across food categories. The app showed promise as a scalable tool for ongoing monitoring and quality improvement, supporting nutrition policy aligned with financial and cultural contexts

3/The Store Scout App is a decision-support tool that:
✅ Assesses store practices
✅ Gives real-time, evidence-based feedback
✅ Supports co-designed improvements
It enables targeted change in remote food retail—e.g. move sweets away from checkout
