Quadrant Scatter
Each item plotted by two metrics, sized by a third, split into four quadrants at the averages – spot the high-value, low-cost winners.

When to use it
Use it to compare items on two measures at once and sort them into four groups – high/high winners, and the ones to fix.
Questions it answers
- Which items are high on both measures?
- Which are high cost but low value?
- Are the biggest items in the right quadrant?
How to use it
- On your dashboard page, add a grid with the columns below (or map your own header names – see below). Keep it on the same page – tuck it behind the chart rather than hiding it, and make it tall.
- Add an HTML container (one that runs JavaScript) and paste the snippet.
- View the page. The chart finds the grid, reads every row and draws itself; it updates when filters change the grid.
| Default header | Key | What it's for | |
|---|---|---|---|
Dimension A | dimA | Required | The item – one bubble each; several rows are combined. |
Metric 1 | v1 | Required | Across (x). |
Metric 2 | v2 | Required | Up (y). |
Metric 3 | v3 | Optional | Bubble size. |

The integrity value pins this exact version: the browser refuses to run the script if a single byte changes. New versions get a new file name and a new snippet, so a dashboard only changes when you paste the new snippet.
Your own column names
The chart looks for the default headers above. If your grid's headers are different, map them by key with data-columns on the placeholder – the chart then shows your names too. data-labels (same keys) changes just the on-screen names, and data-title changes the heading. For grids that draw rows in batches, data-grid-class and data-scroll-class name the grid's container and its scroll box so every row is read.
