Perfect Use Cases

Pro Tips

💡Sort your data from highest to lowest value before entering it — the template keeps bars in the order you provide, so sorted input produces a correctly shaped Pareto curve.
💡Use the value suffix field (e.g. ' cases', ' errors', ' tickets') to make axis labels instantly self-explanatory without adding a footnote.
💡When presenting to leadership, highlight only the categories left of the 80% line — those are the ones worth solving first.
