FAQs
What is a quad chart and when should I use it?
A quad chart (2x2 matrix) compares items across two factors—commonly Impact and Effort. Use it to prioritize features, projects, or ideas by spotting quick wins, big bets, and low‑value tasks.
How does the AI quad chart maker place points?
Provide brief descriptions or scores. The AI interprets impact and effort cues to suggest positions and labels. You can drag points, edit labels, or fine‑tune axes after the suggestion.
Can I rename axes and quadrant labels?
Yes. Change axis titles and quadrant names to match your framework, such as Value vs. Complexity, Risk vs. Reward, or RICE/ICE variants.
How do I show or hide grid and labels?
Use display settings to toggle grid lines, axis labels, quadrant labels, and tooltips. You can also set axis position, font size, and point size for readability.
