What it is
Breakdown Chart pairs a composite donut with horizontal progress bars so every category reads two ways: as a slice of the whole and as a value-vs-max bar. The dominant category gets an accent color so the headline lands in half a second.
What it does
Renders a center donut with category arcs, plus a stacked row of horizontal progress bars. Auto-detects the largest category and highlights it.
Why use it
Two encodings (angle and length) for the same data lets the viewer pick whichever they read fastest. The auto-accent kills the "so what?" question.
Three ways teams use it
