Chart Type Prototypes

Three chart types applied to the same Architecture Wheel data. Which reveals the most?

1. UpSet-style Matrix

Each column is a deal archetype (sorted high-risk to low-risk, left to right). Each row is a wheel position, grouped by ring. Filled dots mark active positions; vertical lines connect them to show the combination. Frequency bars on the right show which positions define the market — and which never appear at all. Hover to highlight.

Positions with zero frequency (Observable, Available, Buildable, Returned, Transitional, Operating) are the moderate or supplier-friendly options the market doesn't use.


2. Force-directed Bipartite Graph

Dark squares are deal archetypes. Coloured circles are wheel positions. Links connect archetypes to their active positions. The simulation pulls archetypes that share positions together — clusters reveal structural affinity. Drag nodes to explore. Hover to highlight connections.


3. Radar Charts

Eight axes, one per key sub-dimension. Each axis has three positions mapped to concentric rings (innermost = first listed, outermost = third). An archetype only extends on axes where it specifies a position — unspecified axes stay at zero. The shape is the deal's fingerprint.

Overlay comparisons

All 12 archetypes

Axis order is arbitrary — but identical across all charts, so shapes are directly comparable. Larger shapes don't mean "worse"; they mean more dimensions are specified.
