What it is
Lollipop Chart strips bar charts to a stem and a dot, reducing ink while keeping ranking and magnitude. The chart that says "we have taste" without sacrificing readability.
What it does
One row per category with a horizontal stem ending in a value-sized dot; optional color encoding.
Why use it
Reads less heavy than bars when categories are many — and looks intentional.
Three ways teams use it
Marketing
Campaign performance ranked by ROI.
HR
Salary by role with dots at current pay.
Ops
SKUs ranked by margin.
