RADAR

3-6 shared-unit axes from a center; one polygon per series. Needs: 3-6 dimensions ON THE SAME SCALE for at most 2 series.

magnitudecomparison

DL-01 AGRAW

Use when

WARN: only when every axis shares one unit and the audience expects a radar
profile shapes across 3-6 same-unit dimensions, 2 series max

Do not use when

different units per axis (the polygon area means nothing)
more than 2 series (unreadable overlap)
any case a paired bar answers (most cases)

See instead

axes have different units: CH-MAG-02
one series only: CH-RNK-01

Alternatives

CH-MAG-02 (paired bars read better)
CH-RNK-01 (single series)

Rules

every axis one unit, one shared 0-based scale (validated intent)
polygon area is NOT a measure; the shape is the only message
2 series maximum, first is the key

Never do this

WARN ENTRY: radars are usually the wrong answer; paired bars read faster and more honestly
mixed units across axes
3+ series
reading enclosed area as a score

QA before delivering

axes share one unit
<= 2 series
zero-based rings
source present

Data shape

title	action title with a number
source	bottom-left always
unit	shared by every axis, printed at the top ring
axes	3-6 dimension names
series	1-2 {name, values}
