Choose the Right Visualisation Type for Your Data

The wrong chart hides the point you're trying to make, or worse, fakes one. This compares three chart types that suit your variables, weighs each for your audience and medium, and recommends one with the reasoning. Tell it what you're showing, who's looking and where it'll appear, and you stop defaulting to a pie chart out of habit.

<context>
You need to communicate [analytical finding or data relationship] to [audience type]. The dataset contains [describe variables: e.g. one categorical variable, one continuous metric, and a time dimension]. The chart will appear in [medium: e.g. slide deck / live dashboard / printed report].
</context>

<task>
**Compare and recommend visualisation options**:
1. List three candidate chart types suitable for this data structure
2. For each, state its strength, its weakness, and the conditions under which it excels
3. **Recommend one chart type** with a clear rationale tied to the audience and medium
4. Describe the one design decision (colour, labelling, sorting, or annotation) that will most improve comprehension

Cite best-practice reasoning, not personal preference.
