Bubble Grid

What it is

Bubble Grid arranges sized circles on a discrete row × column grid, perfect when both axes are categorical (region × product, stage × source). It’s a heatmap that uses area instead of opacity — and it always looks deliberate.

What it does

Rows × columns of bubbles, area-sized by the metric, optional color encoding for a secondary metric.

Why use it

Reads denser than a heatmap when the value range is wide — the eye can compare areas across the grid even when small.
