Find the one insight

Most charts have one thing worth saying. Find it, say it, in the title.

The principles

  • 1 One thing — most charts have a single point worth making — find it.
  • 2 Put it in the title — write the takeaway as the chart title, not “Revenue by month”.
  • 3 Cut the rest — if it doesn’t support the insight, remove it.
Title it “Growth accelerated in May”, not “Monthly revenue”.
