As someone to whom these kind of awesome visualizations are often presented, let me tell you something. Real decisions do not depend on these nice stuff. I sometimes feel sorry for the folks who spend great effort in producing these, like a children amusing themselves with the great sand castles they built. A lot of times, simple text or numbers could also have more effect on the decisions.

I agree that these visuals rarely drive decisions on their own. They’re more like supporting tools… useful for framing an argument or guiding a narrative in a presentation, especially when static.

Unless it’s interactive or tied to live data the usefulness of the visualization produced is limited.. it’s a shame and it’s something this tools should pivot towards
