What it is
Pareto Chart sorts categories descending by value and overlays a cumulative percentage line — exactly the chart Joseph Juran intended for prioritization. The 80% cutoff is rendered automatically.
What it does
Descending sorted bars with a cumulative % line, optional 80% reference line, tooltip, and cross-filter.
Why use it
Prioritization conversations end here. The handful of bars before the cumulative line crosses 80% is your roadmap.
Three ways teams use it
QA

Ops
