How to use
- Dots = projects. Close dots have similar context.
- Color = success score (relative in this sample run).
- Arrows = factors. Arrow direction shows where that factor increases.
- Hover a dot to see its factor values and success score.
- Boost = factor pushes success up on average.
- Penalty = factor pushes success down on average.
- Some factors show both (too little vs too much).

Low: stakeholders aligned • High: competing agendas & escalations
Low: flexible timeline • High: fixed date, little/no slack
Low: clean/modern stack • High: legacy & fragile code paths
Low: mostly independent • High: many external dependencies/bottlenecks
Low: noisy/missing data • High: reliable, decision-ready data
Low: churn/resourcing changes • High: stable team & cadence
Low: unclear decisions/approvals • High: clear process & authority
Low: fewer projects (noisier) • High: more projects (smoother patterns)
Impact chart: average contribution to success (Boost vs Penalty). Some factors show both — because “too little” and “too much” can both be harmful.
