Running it, start to finish
- Write the one-sentence claim before choosing a chart type.
- Check the data actually supports it.
- Annotate the finding directly on the chart.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Starts from the claim rather than the data's shape, which determines the comparison and therefore the chart.
- Names the specific misreadings a viewer might make and designs against each.
- Requires an on-chart annotation, since most viewers never read the caption.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Write the claim first. If you cannot state in one sentence what the viewer should conclude, the chart has no job and no chart type will rescue it.
- Believe section 1 when it says unsupported. A chart that overstates what the data shows is the most damaging kind, because it is persuasive.
- Put the annotation on the chart. Not in the caption, not in the speaker notes. Charts get screenshotted and travel without their context.
