One figure, five supports
The default. A headline number set large, then four or five ranked bars underneath that show where it comes from.

Give it your figures. It picks the one that carries the story, sets it large, ranks the rest underneath it, and keeps the unit, the period and the source attached — which is what turns a statistic into evidence.

Framing a statistic
Five questions a reader asks about every number
Answer them on the sheet and your figure survives being screenshotted. Leave them out and it becomes somebody else’s misquote.
- The base“Out of what?”
- 46% of respondents means nothing until the reader knows there were 2,000 of them and not nine. Sample size belongs on the sheet, not in a methodology appendix nobody opens.
- The period“When?”
- A statistic without a date is a claim with an expiry you cannot see. Put the year next to the figure, in the label rather than in a footnote.
- The comparison“Compared with what?”
- A number alone is inert. 32% is only interesting beside the 20% it used to be, or the 45% somebody else manages.
- The unit“Of what kind?”
- Percentage points and percent are different things, and the difference has embarrassed a lot of published charts. Say which one you mean.
- The source“Says who?”
- Name it on the sheet. A statistic detached from its source travels fast and comes back distorted — usually with your logo on it.
Four patterns that cover almost every statistical sheet
Survey results
The question written out in full, the answers ranked by share, the sample size in the footer. Never a pie with seven slices.
Then and now
Two figures and the change between them. The most persuasive statistical sheet there is, and the easiest to overstate — use the same measure at both ends.
Scale by comparison
“Enough to fill X” only works if X is something the reader can picture. If it needs explaining, it is not a comparison, it is a second statistic.
About the numbers
What do I need to bring?
The figures, in any form — a spreadsheet, a paste of a results table, a paragraph with the numbers in it, or a report. It extracts them with their units.
Does it check whether my statistics are correct?
No. It uses the figures you give it and does not go looking for others. Verification is yours, and the sheet is designed to make that easier by keeping the unit, base and source visible.
Can it round or convert for me?
It will present figures at a readable precision — 46.3% rather than 46.2718% — and you can ask for a specific precision if it matters. It does not convert currencies or units on its own, because the rate and the date would be a guess.
How many statistics fit on one sheet?
One headline plus four to six supporting figures. Beyond that a reader stops ranking them and starts skimming, which defeats the point of picking a headline.
Can I show a percentage as a chart?
Yes — as a progress meter, a donut or a bar depending on what the percentage is of. A single percentage is often better set as large type with a label rather than drawn at all.
What formats can I export?
PNG, SVG and PDF, plus a share link. The text stays real text, so figures on a shared piece can be selected, searched and read aloud.
