What it is
Pick the right chart for your data — explained in plain English
Recommend the best chart type for a given dataset and question. Goes beyond naming a chart type: explains why it fits the data shape and audience, lists trade-offs of alternatives, and calls out any data prep required before building.

Show revenue trend across five product linesscenario · built in
Claude should recommend a line chart with one series per product line as the primary recommendation, explaining that line charts show trend continuity clearly across a 2-year window. It should offer a small-multiples alternative and note when a stacked area chart is and is not appropriate. It must mention that 5 series is near the perceptual limit for color discrimination and suggest labeling strategies. It should flag if any data prep is needed (monthly aggregation confirmed, consistent currency).
Show plan tier distributionscenario · built in
Claude should recommend a horizontal bar chart ranked by size as the primary option, explaining that it makes the large gap between tiers immediately readable. It should acknowledge the pie chart is a common choice here but explain why the bar chart is clearer when values span different orders of magnitude. It should note that the data is already aggregated and ready to chart without further prep.
