Best for analytical briefings, data team presentations, research readouts, and business reviews; typical decks run 6-15 slides.",

When to Use
For research readouts, analysis decks, business reviews, and experiment reviews.
When to Avoid
Avoid for dashboards where many metrics need equal weight.
Block Structure
chart-beside
The gap opens after onboarding
One finding, one implication, one action.
- -Finding: activation splits by segment
- -Implication: onboarding needs branching
- -Action: test segment-specific paths
Best Practices
1
Make the chart title a finding.
2
Use annotations only for the key comparison.
3
Do not bury the implication in speaker notes.
