Pyramid Chart
A Pyramid Chart is a hierarchical visualization where values are represented in the form of a triangle divided into horizontal segments. Each segment corresponds to a stage, level, or category, arranged in a progressive order based on size or importance.
This visualization is widely used to illustrate hierarchical structures, proportional breakdowns, or staged processes, such as organizational hierarchies or priority levels.
