Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
Business Performance Tracking
Compare two KPIs — such as ad spend vs. revenue — across quarters to spot correlation, lag effects, or inflection points in your growth strategy.
Scientific Data Storytelling
Show how two measured variables co-evolve in experiments or longitudinal studies, with labeled points making each observation traceable.
Investor & Stakeholder Presentations
Communicate how market conditions shifted over time using a single chart that carries both relational and temporal information at once.
Customize
How to Customize
Replace the Data
Swap out the unemployment and inflation values with your own X and Y pairs, and rename each point label to match your time periods or categories.
Update Axis Labels
Edit the X-axis and Y-axis labels in the General Settings panel to reflect your variables — for example 'Revenue ($)' and 'Customer Satisfaction Score'.
Style and Export
Adjust dot size, color, and opacity to match your brand or presentation theme, then download as PNG or SVG for slides, reports, or web use.
Key Benefits
- Combines correlation analysis with time-ordering in a single intuitive chart
- Point labels eliminate the need for a separate legend, keeping the chart clean
- Works instantly in the browser — no software installation or design skills required
- AI-powered generation lets you describe your data and get a chart in seconds
Pro Tips
- Enable reference lines to mark a target threshold or historical average and make anomalies stand out immediately.
- Use consistent dot sizing unless you want to encode a third variable — varying sizes can distract from the connection path.
- For presentations, increase the label font size and dot stroke width so every data point reads clearly on large screens.
