I’m impressed to see how you’ve managed to also get an indication of the state the client entered in on the graph also. Still a bit hard to read though. What programme are you using?

There is a regional element to this data, which holds the potential for guided analytics component. Molly

I agree; stacking the bars makes the comparison easier (thanks Tim) – and reminded me of Stephanie Evergreen’s stacked/sliding bar charts http://stephanieevergreen.com/diverging-stacked-bars/ where she aligns the bars at the midpoint. Thanks!

I believe this leads to a cleaner visualization, while still retaining all the detail.

See https://public.tableausoftware.com/views/ProgressMade/ProgressMade for an interactive and downloadable where the sort can be adjusted. With more data, a guided analytics application could be built.
