Use case

Bullet Chart Maker workflow

Bullet Chart Maker is for compact KPI status reporting. It works with KPI target tracking with warning and good bands, adds target marker, qualitative ranges, and gauge replacement guidance, and keeps the preview, checks, and exports tied to the data you entered.

From input to export

  1. Start with the bullet sample or paste your own CSV, Manual data.
  2. Map current, target, and band fields before reading the status.
  3. Use the text summary to explain whether the metric is below, near, or above target.
  4. Export Bullet chart, KPI note after the checks explain any remaining context or readability issues.

When to use

  • Use Bullet Chart Maker when you need to compare a KPI with target bands.
  • It is a good fit for compact KPI status reporting.
  • It works best when your data resembles KPI target tracking with warning and good bands.

When not to use

  • Do not use this workflow for multi-category stories that need a full bar chart.
  • Do not publish the result until title, unit, source, and export size have been reviewed.
  • Use another chart preview when the recommendations explain a better fit.

Controls that matter

  • Map fields before reading the chart.
  • Choose a chart type from the preview controls.
  • Add title and source context before export.

Input and method

  • The parser normalizes rows into a browser-side table and never requires an account.
  • Field detection classifies KPI target tracking with warning and good bands into number, date, category, or text fields.
  • Current, target, and band fields are compared so KPI status is visible in one compact view.
  • The score combines data readiness, field mapping, chart fit, labels, accessibility, and bullet chart export readiness.

Checks before export

  • Comparing KPIs with different units on the same scale.
  • Exporting before adding a clear title, unit, or source note.
  • Ignoring the page limit: this workflow is not intended for multi-category stories that need a full bar chart.
  • Treating the score as approval instead of reviewing the specific fixes.

Export options

  • PNG and SVG exports use the current bullet chart preview and selected size.
  • Markdown and mini report exports include title, source note, detected fields, score, and fixes.
  • HTML, JSON config, clean CSV, and alt text are available from the secondary export panel when data is valid.

Output limits

  • Very large datasets should be summarized before using this browser-side tool.
  • Avoid this workflow for multi-category stories that need a full bar chart.
  • Image-only chart recognition, cloud storage, and collaborative editing are not part of this version.
  • Generated summaries should be reviewed before publication.
