Change the bar color, cumulative line color, and 80% reference line color to match your brand or presentation style, and toggle labels and the legend on or off as needed.

Key Benefits
- Instantly reveals the vital few causes with a built-in 80% reference line
- No design or data skills required — just replace the sample data and go
- Professional-quality output ready for boardroom presentations or client reports
- Free to use with no sign-up required
Pro Tips
- Sort your data from highest to lowest before entering it — the bars will rank correctly and the cumulative percentage line will flow naturally from left to right.
- Use the value suffix field to add units like 'complaints', 'defects', or 'errors' so your chart is fully self-explanatory without extra annotation.
- If items above the 80% threshold are hard to action individually, consider grouping low-frequency causes into a single 'Other' category to keep the chart focused.
